Reviews

"The book is the mature fruit of much research and much thoughtà. [It] will be an indispensable guide not only for the student of contemporary history and international relations but also for the statesman who has to deal with these problems and to learn that they are of an importance far beyond all divisions of ideology or civilization."—Hans Kohn
