In this collection of essays, published in 1909, Bierce offers his incisive and sardonic commentary on many social issues of the day. He proffers arguments that are still in use by today’s pundits, making his essays such as “The Game of Politics, ” “The Death Penalty, ” and “The Right to Work, ” seem surprisingly modern.
