...Uncle Tom. He does not talk minstrel-show dialect or advise his flock that, for those who bear their afflictions meekly, there will be watermelon by & by, or the Hall Johnson Choir in the sky. He talks sober, unrhetorical English, and before long he is reading aloud (from Mein Kampf) some of Hitler's opinions about those "born half-apes." While he reads, the camera moves among his listeners, quietly contradicting Hitler by the most powerful shots in the film-the intent faces of proud, enduring, mature human beings...
Commonweal. Later he specialized in German affairs, wrote the footnotes to Reynal & Hitchcock's edition of Mein Kampf. In World War I he was a sergeant; now he serves on the State Department's Advisory Committee on Cultural Relations.

Their anonymous author (revealed as Hilary St. George Saunders, the House of Commons assistant librarian) now turns his attention to the Commandos. Combined Operations, like its predecessors, has very lively passages indeed...
...four-handed chess with Head Cabalist MacGregor Mathers, Mrs. Mathers and a ghost. It was sheer flapdoodle, but the images gave new energy to his verse. And in time this led to A Vision, one of the most astonishing books of the 20th Century, a sort of Irish-Chaldean Mein Kampf of the undermind...
