The International: A Review of Two Worlds

 

 

The International was a New York based magazine owned and edited by George Sylvester Viereck that served as a pro-German outlet for propaganda during the first World War.

     

Up until the August 1917 issue Crowley was a part-time contributor of mainly political articles beginning in June 1915 with the publication of his article "The End of England." In August, Viereck appointed Crowley as editor of the magazine with a $20-per-week salary. In a manner similar to Crowley's periodical The  Equinox, Crowley would eventually become the main writer of the magazine's articles, publishing many of them under aliases. Crowley's editorship of the magazine continued through April 1918 issue.

     

In April the magazine was sold by Vierek to Professor Lindley Miller Keasbey (1867-1946), the former chair of the University of Texas Department of Economics and Political Science, who refused to include any of Crowley's work in any future issues. Keasby's editorship of The International began with the May 1918 issue which was also to be it's last.
