Más información sobre el libro

Bourne, a progressive writer and intellectual, emerged as a voice for young radicals during World War I. His influential essays, particularly the unfinished "The State," highlight his critical views on government power during wartime, encapsulated in the phrase "war is the health of the state." A Columbia University graduate, he contributed to notable journals like The Seven Arts and The New Republic. His posthumously published works, including "Untimely Papers," continue to resonate with discussions on authority and civil liberties in times of conflict.
