SIGNED by co-author Marcus Raskin and inscribed to political philosopher, Hans Morgenthau: 'For Hans, With love and respect for who you are, what you've done and what you will do. [Signed] Marc Raskin / Sept. 1971.' x, [2], 374pp. Sewn binding in black cloth over boards. Silver gilt-titled spine and blindstamped title to front cover. Marcus Raskin's signature and inscription to FFEP. DJ sunned at spine and edges. Small tears along DJ edges. Small crack in DJ spine, not impacting integrity of DJ. Smudge to top edge of pages. Otherwise, pages and covers clean and unmarked. Raskin was the author of many books and the founder of the progressive thinktank, Institute for Policy Studies. *Washington Plans an Aggressive War*--written at the height of the conflict in Vietnam--'is a view of what happened in the Vietnam war, why it happened, and what steps need to be taken to prevent it from happening again . the war was no accident ; it was not the result of incalculable errors but was rather the consequence of calculable plans and decisions to proceed with them.' In laying out their case, the authors make extensive use of 'The Pentagon Papers' -- Raskin was one of the first recipients of copies from Daniel Ellsberg of the 7,000-page top-secret history of US involvement in Vietnam. His heartfelt inscription to Hans Morgenthau makes for a very special association. Following his landmark works, *Scientific Man vs. Power Politics* and *Politics among Nations*, Morgenthau had become one of the most prominent political theorists in America. He was sought out as an advisor by the Kennedy administration, but his outspoken criticism of US policy in Vietnam led to his ouster by LBJ. He continued as one of the most prominent critics throughout the duration of the war. PROVENANCE: From Hans Morgenthau's daughter, Susanna Morgenthau.…
