The Political pamphlets collection contains published documents from various sources about conflicts and politics that occurred in the mid-twentieth century, with the majority of the documents dated from the 1930s to the 1970s. The documents primarily concern the politics before, during, and after World War II. Most of the texts are pamphlets, with subjects ranging from the state of refugees to anti-communist and wartime propaganda.
