Summary: Mr. Sumner Welles said of Louis Fischer's Men and Politics that it is a work which will never be dated: 'Its value in assisting public opinion to grasp more realistically the world issues could hardly be over estimated.' Louis Fischer's new book is an equally important contribution, a book about the politics of the war and the peace as well as an authoritative study of the men who shaped and are shaping world affairs. With impressive force, with remarkable insight, with patience and realism Louis Fischer surveys the course of events from the beginning of the war to the beginning of the peace. Here the mistakes, the triumphs, the conflicts, the puzzles of the age are described and analysed and, above all, related to the aims and forces behind the scenes. To-day everyone realizes that the great challenge is the challenge of peace, of one world or two. And everyone knows that Russia is the central problem of our time. Analysis and discussion of Russia's role in the world form the core of Louis Fischer's book. He clarifies and explains Russia's actions, and suggests realistically how they should be treated.
