“The object of this series of reprinted pamphlets is to present to the public at a reasonable price the evidence in the much discussed case of Ezra Pound. This material has never been readily accessible to the English reader, and without it no possible opinion about Pound can be valid. Not only does the series serve as an indispensable introduction to the economic and political thought of Ezra Pound, it is an essential to the full understanding of his major poetical work, The Cantos.” (“Publisher’s Note,” p. [3])
Note: This English translation by Carmine Armore was reprinted, with revisions, in Impact (1960)—A78—pp. 15-39, and, without those revisions, in Selected Prose 1909-2965 ([1973])—A93a—pp. 137-55 (167-85 in Ag3b).
