By Henry J. Taylor. New York: Dou day, Doran and Co., Inc., 1943.296 Pages; Index; $3.00. Henry J. Taylor is a peculiar combination of financier foreign correspondent. His book is a peculiar combination autobiography, travelogue, war reporting, and estimate of ~ :world situation. The autobiography is superfluous, thl travelogue is not boring, the war reporting is superb, and thl estim~te of the world situation is both enlightening and pm vocative. I The importance of the book centers around l\1r. Tavlorl interpretation of world affairs. He believes that the Germa~ d4 sire for world domination is not the exclusive lunacy of t~ Nazis, but something that has tainted the German mind fQ centuries, and that after the Nazis are history, Germany get under way with \\Torld \Var Ill. He believes that United States cannot be a world relief organization, beca Europeans neither think nor react as we do, and feeding pampering Europe will weaken us without strengthening a possibilities of peace. He finds the four freedoms unworka and the New Deal dangerous. There are inconsistencies in this book, and non seqUj~ reasoning, and anti-New Deal prejudices, but there is also mu sound sense, some excellent observations, and some very fine porting. Our Unknown Allies MOTHER RUSSIA. By Maurice Hindus. New York: DoubJ day, Doran and Company, 1943. 395 Pages; lllustrat~ $3.50. 1 Mr. Hindus has called the turn on many Russian even~ Probably his most important feat was predicting the fact d Russian resistance against Germany when all the experts \\~ rehearsing funeral speeches. Mr. Hindus says he has no gift prophecy-just talent and opportunity for finding out II' the "little people" of Russia think and feel. Knowing this. says it is no trick to predict what they will do. His system , worked so far. ~ Mother Russia tells the reader what our Soviet allies (t little people) think, feel, and do in wartime. He describes d of heroism, both of the mass and of the individual. He ~ in what ways the Russia and the Russian of today differ f the Russia and the Russian of the twenties, during the sha down after the Revolution. According to Hindus, their vi~ on morality, the family, the Nazis, education, and many otW things do not differ vastly from our own ideas on the ~ subjects; they may differ in the intensity with which the vi are held. Hindus is qualified to write on his subject, and views seem honest. \Ve should know the Russians better, si we will live with them in a smaller. air-linked world. Travelogue ~ JOURNEY Ai\10NG WARRIORS. By Eve Curie. :-.. York: Doubleday, Doran and Company, 1943. 488 pa Index; $3.50. ': Miss Curie, as the representative of a newspaper syndi~ made the trip by air from New York to Brazil, across to Af~ over Africa to the Near East and Russia, on through India China, and returned over much the same route. She saW the same things that the other newspaper representatives and wrote about them very well. As the daughter of her ill ous parents, a few more doors were open to her than to f I I I
aCfereporter, and as a result she is able to give more detail ther interviews. 1\1iss Curie writes well, but rather super- !\- about military matters .. Frdm the number of books written by reporters and others ha\'e made much the same trip in the past eighteen months, figuring 175 pounds of plane cargo weight per writer, it ht not be amiss to compare the worth of resultant books "s. displaced war materials. pri:oner: of ':'ar EY WHO WAlT. By Robert Guerlain. New York: Thomas Y.Crowell, 1943.206 Pages; $2.00. BOOK REVIE\VS Robert Guerlain is the pseudonym of a French soldier who ped a German prison camp, finally to come to America and the Fighting French. He has written a restrained story of life in the PW camp. Probably the most important point the story is the fact that the French soldiers who are being and mistreated in contravention of all the rules of war and ncy, are in the main far from broken in spirit. In spite of aCfanda,starvation, n and slave work, most of the Frenchmen, the Poles, live for the day of liberation. Few have gone llaborationist." .\ most re\'ealing anecdote was that of the treatment of 'tish prisoners, who are very much privileged beings in the an prison scale. Guerlain says it is partly because the ans are prone to accept a man at his own valuation, and British value themselves highly. Scandinavian Underground EL FOR THE NORTHLAND. By Kurt Singer. New York: Robert L. McBride and Company, 1943. 212 Pages; $2.75. H both German and Russian espionage and sabotage have as extensive as Me. Singer's account indicates (there is no n to doubt it), the inhabitants of the three Scandinavian ntries have had no easy row to hoe, and the Swedes are little eroff than the Norse and the Danes. All three nations were ht between the two forces, and in spite of deep desires for trality and peace, have been swept into war. Sweden's trality is a tight-rope affair. e stories l\1r. Singer tells of Quisling and the quislings, of Norway and the other Scandinavian countries, make reviewer wonder if it couldn't happen here. High officials other inRuential citizens of those countries aided the Nazis, for money and some because they believed in the Nazi iples. The thoroughness of Nazi espionage methods against the Russian brand, which is more brilliant than ough, makes exciting reading. f School of Hard Knocks f YJAPAN WAS STRONG. By John Patrie.
