Right Above Race

Right Above Race, written by Otto H. Kahn and first published in 1918, is a wartime treatise that advocates for loyalty to one's adopted nation over ethnic or racial ties, particularly for Americans of German descent during World War I. Kahn critiques Prussian militarism and emphasizes the importance of American values, urging citizens to unite against oppressive forces. The book reflects Kahn's personal history and his perspective as a German immigrant, calling for a rejection of any sympathies towards Germany in favor of liberty and democracy.
