Attacks Robert Minor for his change of positions on anarchism, offering quotes from before and after his conversion to Bolshevism. The author, whose original name was Shmuel Marcus, went by many pseudonyms; he claimed to be a native of Montreal, but when the United States attempted to deport him to Canada around the time of the Palmer Raids, Canada refused on the grounds that there was no actual evidence of his Canadian citizenship. Other attempts to deport him to Mexico and the Soviet Union were also rebuffed. This pamphlet touches on one of the pivotal questions for anarchism in the early 20th century - how to respond to the establishment of the Soviet Union, and the betrayal some felt over the allegiance of former anarchists to the new state. The author went on to edit the newspaper Man!, one of the most important American anarchist publications of the 1930s.

New boards. vellum spine. Printed on special hand-laid Van Gelder paper, an expensive, high quality, hand-made, thick and heavy etching stock paper that was made in Holland a century ago and that has an ivory tonality with a soft, textured surface. Published in 850 copies, plus 6 copies printed on vellum. The font and ornaments were designed by the German calligrapher, illustrator, graphic artist, painter and leading type designer, Marcus Behmer. The font is styled after that of the 1526 Prague Haggadah of Gershom Kohen. Illust. half title. Decorative woodcut title in blue, golden brown and black in the style of a medieval manuscript. Initial word of each of the Five Books surrounded by arabesques and printed in blue, golden brown and black ink, with a decorative medieval manuscript motif.

Deuteronomy's illuminated-first-word text page is printed on the verso of the half title. Printed by the Officina Serpentis, one of the finest German Private Presses, at the commission of the Soncino Geselleschaft der Freunde des jüdischen Buchers, a society of Jewish bibliophiles in Germany. The work was produced in 2 parts beginning in 1930, and was bound together as a whole at its completion. The opening page of Genesis, with its use of large grilled letters for the opening word of the text ("Bereisheet"), echoes the style of early Hebrew printing. The plan was to publish the entire Hebrew Bible, but the Gesselschaft was dissolved by the Nazis in 1937 and only the Pentateuch was published. "Ranks among the most beautiful Hebrew books ever printed" (A. J. Karp). See A. J. Karp, Library of Congress Catalogue pp 31-34 (illus); L. Avrin, The Art of the Hebrew Book in the 20th Century, in New York Public Library Catalogue, A Sign and a Witness (1988) p. 135 (illus,). One volume with the complete Hebrew Torah text. The opening and final verses of Moses' blessing to the Jewish people (at the end of Deuteronomy) were distinctively printed in red as a signal message of hope to the Jewish people. Founded in 1924, the Soncino Gesellschaft was a Jewish bibliophilic society which produced a wide variety of texts celebrating Jewish authors and promoting the Hebrew typographical arts. This book is considered the Gesellschaft's masterwork. This typographical masterpiece is deemed by many as one of the most beautiful Hebrew books ever printed and the most beautiful Hebrew Bible printed in the 20th century. Title page printed in blue, golden brown and black in the style of a medieval manuscript. The first word of each of the Five Books is also printed in golden brown ink with a lovely decorative medieval manuscript motif. The four half titles for the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy, are printed on a separate leaf (followed by their illuminated first-word text pages), printed in black. The exception to this format is the Book of Deuteronomy, whose illuminated-first-word text page is printed on the verso of the half title. This edition of the Bible is noteworthy as the last Hebrew Bible printed in Germany before the Holocaust. It was the culmination of a four year project from 1929 - 1933 coinciding with the rise of Nazism in Germany and Hitler's coming to power. It seems that an attempt was made to evoke the wrath of God upon the wicked by printing two prophetic verses, (Deut. 33:1 & 29) in red, an anomaly, "This is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death." and "Happy are you, 0 Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord, who is the shield of your help and the sword of your triumph! Your enemies shall dwindle away before you and you shall tread upon their high places." Considered one of the "Jewish Treasures" of the Library of Congress. unpaginated.

11.25x16 inch broadside, horizontal fold, minor toning; "Marcus Graham group, 1920" penciled in bottom margin, couple of old paper tape repairs on blank verso. The date is confirmed by its citation in a Congressional report, "Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer On Charges Made Against Department Of Justice By Louis F. Post And Others." "We have on many occasions issued to you calls for action. We have told you that protest meetings will not help to free the thousands of social war prisoners, but only by real action, through the starting of the general strike throughout the entire country, will they be freed. You did not listen to us who urged action. You chose the easier road. You listened, instead, to politicians who asked you to beg of the exploiters of America to be so kind as to release those whom they imprisoned. We remind you of the mistakes that you have made and how you have been fooled and betrayed." Warns that those who participate in May Day parades sponsored by the National Security League "will be traitors to our class," calling on readers to mark May Day instead by forming anarchist groups to begin a general strike. "When we march or hold our meetings we must never forget to be armed to repel those misguided soldiers or policemen who will dare to attack us, as they have done until now! . The First of May should be the signal for the start of the social revolution in this country." The author, whose original name was Shmuel Marcus, went by many pseudonyms, the best-known of which was Marcus Graham; he claimed to be a native of Montreal, but when the United States attempted to deport him to Canada, Canada refused on the grounds that there was no actual evidence of his Canadian citizenship. Other attempts to deport him to Mexico and the Soviet Union were similarly rebuffed. The author went on to edit the newspaper Man!, one of the most important American anarchist publications of the 1930s.
