520 _a"Right Above Race" by Otto H. Kahn is a wartime treatise written in the early 20th century. The book emphasizes the importance of loyalty to one's adopted nation over ethnic or racial allegiance, particularly in the context of Americans of German descent during World War I. It argues passionately for American values and ideals, presenting a strong critique of Prussian militarism and stressing the duty of all Americans to unite against it. The opening of the text features a preface that positions Kahn as a prominent voice advocating for strong American nationalism amid the ongoing conflict. Kahn reflects on his German heritage while firmly aligning himself against the militaristic regime of Germany, which he believes threatens civilization. He urges his fellow citizens, especially those with German ancestry, to reject any sentiments that could be construed as sympathizing with Germany, instead calling for a united front in favor of liberty and democracy through a victory over oppressive forces. His arguments are framed by personal history and observations of the shifting dynamics in German society leading up to the war. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
