Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes and probes the origins and characteristics of party spirit, arguing that it is a natural outcome of man's intellectual and social development and that it is not inherently bad. The author, who has witnessed the negative effects of misguided party spirit firsthand, argues that it is when parties pursue their agendas without regard for the greater good or through dishonest or harmful methods that it becomes destructive. By delving into specific historical examples, the book draws a line between ethical and unethical party behavior and argues that all men are obligated to speak out and act against those who would advance their cause through malicious or deceitful tactics.
