Great magazine with this manifesto: "A magazine of unfamiliar fact and informed opinion, filling in the shadows cast by coming events all over the world; equally opposed to the devleopment of dictatorship from either Left or Right, whose one fixed editorial aim is to give unhampered and unbiased demonstration of whatever dangers threaten this our democracy from without and within, in accord with the Lincolnian dictum of "Let the people know the truth and this country is safe." Good condition, mailing label, cover nearly detached from firm text body, and about a slight edge chip running through most the pages. Chicago based bi-weekly international news magazine had an impressive roster of writers, photographers and illustrators - with a decidedly liberal, anti-fascist political stance. It is fascinating to see the reportage here as the events leading towards World War II unfold. Oversized bi-monthly filled with news, articles, political cartoons, and vintage advertisements. This issue includes ?The Next Outbreak of Peace? by Ernest Hemingway. Considered a great deal before therietime (the inside cover of this copy promotes an organization for peace to avoid entering World War II.) Hemingway chose Ken Magazine for many of his more political observations throughout the years. With a double pages world map of population, extensive coverage of whaling operations making whales ?extinct? and numerous other issues, this edition of Ken Magazine seems it is as topical today as it was when released ¾ of a century ago! 86 pages. - VISIT http://www.rarelibrary.com TO FIND ANTIQUE BOOKS, SIGNED FIRST EDITIONS, OUT OF PRINT TITLES, RARE REFERENCE BOOKS, FUN COLLECTIBLES, SPORTS MEMORABILIA AND ART.
