Title: Clashing Tides of Colour. Book is signed by the author, which in addition to the rarity of the book makes it even more covetable. "Transcribed to William Harris from Lothrop Stoddard."  This is an ultra rare antique book that is great for reading, display, or both. Signature has been matched to known copies online and the characteristics are identical (one picture included in the pictures of a known signature). This 1935 book is the most suppressed and rare book ever by Stoddard, America's famous eugenics and racial theorist. This is a racially-based interpretation of worldwide events leading up to the First World War. It has sections dealing with North and South America, Europe, Russia, Asia, the Near East, and Africa. Although many of the events to which the book refers are now of historical interest, the racial understanding which this book brings to world events is timeless. The underlying theme of the book-that all races have adopted white technology and culture with varying degrees of success, and that this will have serious results for all races-has taken on added meaning since this book was written.
