"Anyone who seeks to understand Pound or to write about him and his times cannot overlook these speeches. Although Pound's reputation will forever rest on his poetry and other
writings, and not upon these scripts, the broadcasts are part of his record. Actually, the speeches should be of interest of Poundians not only because, according to
Mary de Rachewiltz, they reflect his earlier writings but also because they affected his subsequent poetry." -- Leonard W. Doob, editor
