It sounds to me as if the editors think these ideas were not only safely sane, but a winning "solution". What makes these ideas any different from what was coming out of Germany at the same time other than the fact that it was written by a wannabe pedestaled white lady?

Quotes from this book can go a long way:

She unabashedly called for the extirpation of "weeds .... overrunning the human garden"; for the segregation of "morons, misfits, and the maladjusted"; and for the sterilization of "genetically inferior races." Later she singled out the Chinese, writing in her autobiography about "the incessant fertility of [the Chinese] millions spread like a plague."

This book helps you to understand the person behind the person, drawing one to ponder questions like, "Is eliminating an inferior race an exercise of the right to choice?" and "Can one get a salesman to pay the price of gold for rocks?"

In concluding that I was one of those births that should have been prevented, I wondered if it was acceptable to reverse the focus, practicing the freedom to choose through elimination one's incubation processors.

This book is a worthy read because it shows the REAL Margaret Sanger. She was a white supremacist and a Nazi sympathizer. She is also hailed as a femenist hero at almost any University in the country! She founded "The American Birth Control League" which changed its name after WWII to "Planned Parenthood" (I wonder why?). Oddly enough, Planned Parenthood's website has a little biography about her, calling her a hero. There's even a section titled, "Reaching out to the African-American Community." What? Read this book (HER OWN WORDS) and learn the truth about this "hero."

I tried to read this book.It's available to read (free) on internet.From the preface, to the last page this is a classic of eugenism.
The preface of this book was wrote by H. G. Wells, then a famous communist and english writer.Like ecologism today, eugenics was a left's political movement, dressed as science.And a very popular in American and every protestant country in the planet.
This book was writen by Margaret Sanger, an american woman.This woman a feminist and popular among leftists and feminists in his times.She was also a deep racist and eugenist.On the book "The War Against the Weake", Mrs. Sanger is described as a good person.In this book you can see how Margaret Sanger, really was.She was a bigot, a liar, a faker,a racist and a bad prophetess.
To exemple, while Lenin was exterminating more than 35 million russians, Mussolini was begining his dictatorship in Italy and Hitler was preaching his speachs in Germany; what kinf meace to the future Mrs. Sanger described in this book?She described a case of an american black woman who had a son, who was a robber!
Except if you are a mad or a bigot, the only real value for this book is to see how bad ideas were belived in America, when this bad book was writen, about 80 years ago.
