More than fifty years after the U.S. Supreme Court unleashed the civil rights revolution, the best thing to come out of that racial upheaval remain the objective, scientifically informed writings of citizen/scholar Carleton Putnam. Race and Reality: A Search for Solutions, Putnam's most considered, up-to-date dissection of the junk science and wishful fantasies of the racial equality movement, was a landmark when it first appeared in 1967. Unlike virtually all other objections to forced integration, Race and Reality relied on the best evidence available from anthropology, genetics, and psychology, as well as on Putnam's deep understanding of history, philosophy, and the law, rather than on arguments from tradition and religion, to make a case that has never been refuted-and grows sounder year by year-against the involuntary amalgamation of the white and black races in America.

Carleton Putnam-business executive (he helped found Delta Airlines) and historian (his biography of President Theodore Roosevelt remains a classic)-has been an example and an inspiration for his civil courage and loyalty to his people as much as for his brilliant demolition of the case for "equality." In an age when upper-class Americans have used their standing and means to remove themselves from the racial problems their blue-collar countrymen face every day, Boston Brahmin Putnam proved himself a worthy descendant of his American Revolutionary ancestor General Israel Putnam by speaking out and standing firm on behalf of white Americans of all classes and regions.

This mint-condition 1980 paperback reprint of Putnam's classic challenge to liberal cant-and sadly, subsequent "conservative" practice-is a valuable refresher course in racial realities, then and now, and a signpost toward reclaiming a viable American future. Every thoughtful American deserves to be introduced-or reintroduced-to the vital thought and patriotic practice of this "Madison Grant of the 1960s" (as one liberal professor called Putnam) and Minuteman for all seasons.

Praise from a Nobel Prize Winner

"Putnam penetratingly analyses how liberal dogmatism has paralyzed the ability to doubt popular views even in academic cloisters with resultant prevention of publication of research on racial questions. My personal investigations verify some specifics and the general tenor of Putnam's extensive reporting of such effective suppression… I urge thoughtful citizens to read Putnam's analyses and, in keeping with constitutional principles of freedom of speech and press, to provoke public debate between the unpopular ideas he presents and those currently popular. I urge this action in the interest of replacing prejudice, prejudgment and bias with scientific method and objectivity even though I by no means accept all of his conclusions. I have also learned by both spoken and written communication that several members of the National Academy of Sciences share Putnam's conclusion that there do exist significant genetic differences in distribution of potential intelligence between races."

William Shockley, Nobel laureate and member of the National Academy of Sciences
