The article focuses on various books related to politics. In "Coral and Brass," by General Holland M. Smith and Percy Finch, Smith's controversial story of the achievements of his beloved marines at Tarawa, Saipan, and Iwo Jima makes a thrilling record of courage and ingenuity, a tragic record of sacrifice. "Most of the World," edited by Ralph Linton offers an encyclopedic study of Latin America, Africa, the Near East, India, Southeast Asia, China, ad Japan by fifteen authors. "Government As Employer," by Sterling Spero is a valuable study of the history and present state of labor relations in the public services.
