By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: Chandigarh; Sameer Prakashan; 1977Description: 309 pSubject(s): DDC classification:
  • 327.2 NEI
Summary: NEW YORK TIMES! "The volume is written with much facility of expression and a large fund of materials. In diplomatic matters it attacks the faults of the ruling class in Great Britain in much the same way as 'l Accuse!' attacked those of the corresponding class in Germany." THE BOSTON HERALD : "The real emphasis of the book is on the direful effects of war on the common people on the men who go forth from their Drumdrudge villages to slay and be slain at command, and on the kind of society that servives after every war to see its civilization thrust back for a century and the solution of its urgent economic problems thrust far forward into the future." THE DIAL (Chicago) : "A book which many of its readers will feel has appeared at the moment when it was most required. Amidst the high pressure of emotionalism in which sane judgments are at a premium, and strong opinions on one side or another are regarded as inevitable, it is well to be reminded that quarrels between nations, as between individuals, usually due to 'faults on both sides."
