Signed with a lengthy inscription by the author on ffep.Boake Carter a radio news commentator in the early part of the 20th century. He achieved national fame with his covering of the Lindberg baby kidnapping. In 1936, he had more listeners than any other radio commentator in the country. His commentaries progressively became more controversial - given his fervent criticisms of President Roosevelt and his "New Deal." By 1937, the pressure from the president's allies had caused Carter to lose his job and his sponsorship. When he died of an alleged heart attack in 1944 it was speculated he had been murdered by the leader of a British Israelite Cult. Carter wrote his current book just before the beginning of WWII. In it he argued against the involvement of the US in the conflict in Europe.Homer Bone, to whom the book is inscribed, was a US Senator from Washington and a Federal Judge.
