Book Synopsis
Explains Pound's early non anti-Semitic beliefs and why his views changed to anti-Semitic.

Trade Review
"With great learning and his customary acerbic rigor Surette digests Pound's reading, maps his influences, and shows how the poet lost himself in tangles of economic theory--a confusion he resolved by positing a cosmic racial conspiracy. This is intellectual history at its best." Alec Marsh, author of Money and Modernity: Pound, Williams, and the Spirit of Jefferson
