Abstract

Briefer Comment

The article comments on some books on politics. The book "Argentine Riddle," by Felix J. Weil is the best of the wartime crop of books on the Argentine. The book is so completely satisfying that as far as this reviewer is concerned there can be no need, until the situation shall have greatly changed, for fresh books of the explanatory sort. The author is firmly grounded in Argentine history, which lie has so absorbed into the system of his thought that his references to it are invariably apposite and naturally voiced. He is versed in Argentine politics and economics and has a sensitive understanding of the temper and traditions of his country. Another book "The Tyrants' War and the People's Peace," by Ferdinand A. Hermens discusses Nazi racial theory.
