Are These Things So? by Eugene Sactuary

Are These Things So? by Eugene Sanctuary, published in 1934, reflects the author's controversial perspective on societal and political issues during a time of global instability and change. The book critiques various groups, institutions, and ideologies, presenting them as contributing to perceived threats to societal and moral order. Sanctuary discusses topics like education, religion, and international finance, often weaving them into broader conspiracy theories that characterized his worldview. The publication is rooted in the historical context of the interwar period, a time when economic challenges and political unrest fueled skepticism and distrust of established systems. Sanctuary's work, while reflecting his individual views, has been widely critiqued for its reliance on biased interpretations and conjecture, serving as an example of how fear and uncertainty can influence narratives.
