Summary

"This third and final volume of A. David Moody's critically acclaimed three-part biography of Ezra Pound opens at the outbreak of the Second World War. A tragic time for Europe and the world, the middle years of the twentieth century saw great personal tragedy for Pound. After blaming the Jewish race for the outbreak of the war and supporting Fascist Italy's role throughout, he was charged with treason and condemned as an anti-Semite. Following months in a US detention camp, he was committed to an institution for the insane where he would spend twelve years of his life", -- dust jacket flap
