...ever greater private loans to Britain and France, through the first inarticulate gaspings of the preparedness movement, the "Plattsburg idea"--Mr. Millis traces event after event which slowly and inexorably sucked the greatest democracy on earth into the earth's greatest malestrom.

That proof earned Dr. Pavlov a Nobel Prize (1904), the gratitude of Christian Science, the devotion of physiologists, and the respect of Russian peasants and workers.
