The Passing of the Great Race: Or the Racial Basis of European History (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781497863200)

The Passing of the Great Race: Or The Racial Basis Of European History is a controversial book written by Madison Grant in the early 20th century. The book argues that the white European race is superior to all other races and that the decline of this race would lead to the downfall of civilization. Grant uses a combination of scientific and historical evidence to support his claims, including theories of eugenics and social Darwinism.The book is divided into three parts, with the first part discussing the history and characteristics of the Nordic race, which Grant considers to be the superior race. The second part focuses on the decline of the Nordic race and the rise of other races, particularly the Jewish and Mediterranean races. Grant argues that these races are inferior and pose a threat to the survival of the Nordic race.The final part of the book discusses the need for eugenics and the preservation of the Nordic race. Grant argues that only by controlling reproduction and promoting the breeding of the ""best"" individuals can the Nordic race be preserved and civilization continue to thrive.The Passing of the Great Race has been widely criticized for its racist and eugenicist views, and its influence on the Nazi regime has been well documented. Despite this, the book remains an important historical document in the study of race and racism.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1918 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
