Winner of the 1907 Nobel Prize for literature, Rudyard Kipling was the foremost English poet and writer of the twentieth century. Best known for his "Jungle Book" series of stories, his literary efforts included a vast selection of nationalistic and racially-themed poetry, gathered together in this volume for the first time. Although primarily a British-and English-nationalist, he was strongly racial in his world view, and consistently pointed out its importance in determining the fate of nations. From his well-known "The White Man's Burden" to his equally vivid "The Song of the White Men"; from his appeal to the past in "The Heritage" to his call for racial homogeneity in "The Stranger", Kipling stands out head and shoulders as one of the most important icons of contemporary European literature and culture. Accompanied by a new introduction which provides a pen sketch of his life and his nascent political activism which included the founding of the anti-Communist Liberty League.
