The article focuses on several books. "Men From the Sea," by K.M. Wallenius and translated by Alan Blair. To five adventure tales of the Atlantic seas, Wallenius, a retired general of the Finnish army, brings superior skills of story-telling. in the book "Nine Rivers From Jordan," by Denis Johnston. In one of the final chapters almost every person and episode the author has encountered throughout the last world war come together in a brilliantly conceived play-fantasy. "The book "Henry George," by Charles Albro Barker is biography of George. The book presents several facts and insights to an understanding of the anti-monopoly tradition in the U.S. politics.
