First edition

1920 First Edition of a RARE, Political Classic: In view of the urgency and importance of the issues thus raised it cannot be said that even the democratic nations have escaped from the war with their political systems unshaken by the great conflict. Their constitutions may be for the time intact, but they have entered upon a period of transition in which it is to be determined whether democracy can hold its own not only against the enemy from without, but against the disintegrating forces from within. The present study is an attempt to survey the changes brought about by the war in the governments of the great nations, and particularly in that of the United States, and in so doing to exhibit, by comparison and contrast, the relative strength and weakness of the several political systems and the probable lines of future reconstruction. In the case of the United States special attention has been given to the constitutional questions involved in the adjustment of the government to the demands of the war, both for the purpose of making clear the principles involved in the measures taken by the Government and in order to emphasize the peculiar problems of reorganization with which the Government is confronted." -from the book VERY GOOD Condition with some external soiling, very light internal soiling, light age toning, and a nudge to the bottom corner of around 70 or so pages not affecting text (see last photo, but it's blurry). No writing other than some penciling to rear pastedo
