...other nations have emphatically joined the armaments race and among military men the poser is: "Will Hitler fight when it becomes definitely certain that he is losing that race?" The dynamics of dictatorship are such that few who have studied Fascism and its leaders can envision sexless, restless, instinctive Adolf Hitler rounding out a mellow middle age in his mountain chalet at Berchtesgaden while a satisfied German people drink beer and sing folk songs. There is no guarantee that the have-not nations will go to sleep when they have taken what they now want from the haves. To those...

Her heroine, Miriam Henderson, is the daughter of a bankrupt upper middle-class family, restless, chauvinistic, anti-American, who leaves home when she is 17, teaches in girls' schools in Germany and London, is a governess, then secretary to a firm of literary dentists, who introduce her to their London intellectual set. When she writes about the way sunlight falls across a room, about...
