For those whose time is limited
the following pamphlets will prove
helpful: "An Atlas of the U. S. S. r. +"
by j. H. Stembridge, contains de
tailed geographic information, with
a map for each region. Russia at
War;" by V. M. Dean, is a straight
forward account of Russia today,
covering its history, people and
aims. The Embassy of the U. S. S. r.
has published special information

covering the period from June, l941,
to June. 1912. Mother Volga De-

Pre-War Diplomacy.
Mission to Moscow" by our for
mer Ambassador to Russia. Joseph E
Davies, serves as an understanding
/ introduction to the many books on

prior TO the German attack. it
throws light on pre-war diplomacy
and attempts to explain the Moscow
trials. The appendix contains inter-

new collective farms.
| One catches the spirit of Russia
defending its soil in "All Out on the
Road to Smolensk." Erskine Cald-
/ we'll has gathered together in this
book stories he heard from Russian
soldiers while he was reporting the
war in Moscow last year. One OF
these describes battle, lasting fouI
days, between 1000 Russian and
/ 1000 German tanks in which IS per
cent of men and material was lost
This same spirit is revealed in Rus
slams Don't Surrender" by AleXan-
/ der Poliakov. He was a member OF
guerrilla unit cut of from its base
/ and tells in direct, brutal language
of his experiences. In reading these
! tales of heroiSm, one recalls Gogofs
| famous troika simile: Art thou
not my Russia, soaring along even
like a spirited never to-be -out-dis-
tanced troika?'

day, DoranJ
Perhaps this is Goth century al
legory, and perhaps it is an Ameri-
can version of an Old World fairy
tale. The prosaic, literal-minded
reader is somewhat at loss to
interpret it, although he may enjoy
reading the sprightly tale of rob-
Der gang, modern Cinderella-not
too modern-a wicked grandmother
and a bodyless head which talked
from the depths of a trunk. Mix
these romantic characters with a
half -witted servant. wild Indians,
the Natchez Trail and New Orleans
at its palmiest, and you really have
something. Although, as intimated
above, you may not be quite sure of
just what you have.
Anyhow, it is all good, clean fun.
The action is rapid. the style is al
most as clear as the story Is con-
fused. and it makes an entertaining
half hours reading. r. r. T.

The Riddle of Russia
BY Sarah L. Wiis0n,
Southwestern Branch, Public Library.

Winston Churchill has called Rus
sia "a riddle wrapped in mystery
inside an enigma" The number of
books written about Russia is as
vast as the country, rejecting mag
nificent vitality which expresses
itself in conflicting, passionately
held ideals. The reader who wishes
an objective picture needs a guide
through this great mass of contra
dictory material.
For the serious reader. Bernard
Pares' History of Russia" will help
to clear the air The third, revised,
edition was published in 1887 and
covers Russian history from the
earliest times through 1923. The
complex racial strains of the coun-
try, its geography, as well as its fas-
clnating history, are covered in de-
tail There are useful lists, maps
and tables.
Classic Novels.
To fill in this background, it would
| be well to read or reread some of
the classic novels. such as TolStoi S
War and Peace" With it's timely
setting of the Napoleonic wars. 1t
has just been published in a fine
new edition. Gogols Dead Souls, u
also published under the title Chi
chikovS Journeys" gives a robust
and bitterly humorous picture OF
Russian provincial life in the Vic
torian era. The Silent Don" by
Mikhail Sholokhov, the new one
volume edition of And Quiet Flows

RepriisoI
By Ethel Vance. little,

~ EtheL vance. little,
BroWn.)
The author Of Escape" who has
since been revealed as Grace Earring
Stone. author Of THE Bitter Tea of
General Yen," adds suspense to her
new story by allowing it to cover
less than two days in small
French town where 20 hostages are
about to be executed for the murder
OF a German sergeant. She uses
much the same technique as she did
in Escape" She creates a mood by
jumping into the middle of the stu
alton. Then she retraces the steps
leading up to it gradually. The
murder is three days old, and the
hostages are almost without hope
when the narrative begins. Flash
backs spaced through the book ex-
plain the psychological background
of the fall of France, dipping more
than once into the first World War.
These flashbacks punctuating the
forward movement of the story de-
lay the action to heighten the sus-
pense.
AS in Escape" Miss Vance deals
expertly with the suspense element
as we'll as the inner emotions of
those involved. In one book, she is
in Germany; in the later book, in
France. But the horror of the Nazis
hangs over both. In both, there is
hopelessnesS, viciousness, death in
life.
The book is worthwhile for more
than its narrative, however. Through
its characters, the attitude of the
French before. during and after
their part in the war, is re-exam-
ined. There is the idealistic French
minister who has always been q
pacif1st, the opportunist Vichy am
bassador to Paris who learns he has
lost more than he has gained by be-
traying France, the villagers who
live in a bitter bewilderment, the
French girl who longs for q miracle
to halt the progress of the country
toward its doom and her younger
brother who is Frances hope for the
future. M. o.

Serpent of the Seas
By Harley F. Cope. Funk 1
WdondllS co..

WdgnallS co..
In August of last year Simon Lake
inventor of the first submarine to op-
crate effectively in the open sea, ap-
peared before Senate Military Al
fairs subcommittee to suggest that
the United States build large feet
Of cargo-type submarines. In Febru-
ary of 1864. two years before Simon
Lake was born, submersible for
the first time in history made a
successful attack on a man of war.
Thus almost within the lifetime of
one man the submarine has devel-
oped from dream of a few So
called eccentrics to one of the dead
liest weapons of them all. Serpent
of the Seas" is the history of this
amazing development.
Everything about the submarine
any one would want to know-its
construction and mechanics, its per-
sonnel and their training, its weap-
ons and strategy-is meticulously
explained by Comdr. Cope. Sections
on submarine principles are en-
ivened with accounts Of dare devil
undersea activities in both this war
and the last. Ironically the books
most absorbing chapter deals with
the torpedoing of the naval tanker
Salinas by German sub. The author
was skipper of the Salinas at the
time and he gives stirring eye
witness account of this one example
of the effectiveness of the subma-
rine.
Comdr. Cope has a deep and re-
spectful love for submarines. His
sweeping admiration includes all
parts of the boats themselves, their
crews and shippers. 1t extends even
to the commanders Of German u
boats, whose skill and valor he ap-
preciates full we'll. The author
wishes, however, that these men were
pitching on our team. Capt. Leland
P. Lovette, director of Navy Public
Relations, has written an introduc-
ton to this fine book
