June 29, 1932 issue

The article focuses on several books. "Monsieur Fliers and Nineteenth Century France," by John M.S. Allison. The author writes clearly and entertainingly, and reveals a thorough knowledge and understanding of the period. "The Unknown War: The Eastern Front," by Winston Churchill. Churchill makes his points very well. His book is undeniably stirring, but it contains a repellent obtuseness to human values. The author represented the triumph of the bourgeoisie, but since the triumph involved injustices to the working classes it warped and dirtied his mind, filling it with those rationalizations that are frequently called logic and realism because they do dirty work neatly.
