My Great Uncle's Book The Challenge of Liberty

[James Heaps-Nelson]

It's available for free download at the Mises Institute website. I explored attaching a copy here but it's beyond my allowed size limit.

I did not have any size constraints on attaching it and I don't know why. Maybe it's because I'm the big kahuna over here and the software is sucking up to me.  

 

 

 

Just as a preview, here are screenshots of the Title Page and Table of Contents:

 

 

I bet it's a good book.

 

I, for one, am going to check it out.

To the reader, do likewise.
