 THE Second World War began in Spain on July ls and l9. ls36, Ced. rio Salter contends in 'srry-out tn Spain" (Harpers: s2.50). While the Look is made up principally of his own experiences as war correspon- dent for London newspapers during the Spanish civil war, Salter does bring out some interesting and unpublished material about the in- cident which allowed axis powers to plan the big show later on.
 Salter says that after Negrin took charge Of the republican gov- ernment by ending the Red Terror in 1887, England and France should have recognized the Spanish gov. ernment as . lawfully elected body resisting a Fascist-inspired revolt.
 Had they done so then, he says. Hitler and Mussolini would have hesitated on their triumphal march across Europe. and Czecho- Slovakia. and possibly Albania, Au- tria. and Poland would have been saved.

 The Colonel critlcizes adminis- tratton of war by the United Na- tionS, says 1t is lacking in imagi- nation and holdneSs, and Is waste ful and ineffective in its policy of attack ing the enemy at the rim of his domain rather than concen- trating at his heart. The allies, ac- cordlng to Col. Herman, are dis perSing their forces and proceed. ing too cautiously on the assump- ton that the enemy will move within the calculable." As he puts it. the United Nations got be- hind at Narvik and have never caught up because:
 'Their strategy and tactics have been vitiated. emaSculated their armies are frustrated and their fleets doomed to futility because of the blight of overadministration which is nothing more than the desire of nations rich in military means to organiy: and utilize those means to take the risk out of war
 We CANNOT win. in the au- thor's opinion. by whittllng away on five continents, but must con- centrate our energy at one selected spot. in one country. having won Q decisive battle there, we would mass our forces for another supreme ef- fort, driving harpoon after harpoon into the enemy until the war is won.'
 In Col. Kernan'S view, the en- emy 'has overextended himself so far that a real strategic blow correctly aimsd and delivered with sufficient punch will bring his whole edifim down in crashing ruins upon his head.'
 Col Kernan is vague as to how and where this blow should be de- livered; he only is certain that an enemy operating on interior lines with short communication cannot be beaten by pecks at his periphery -'it is the hub of his wheel, not the rim, that we must attack" He does, however, make some specific suggestions. We can strike at Italy. or:
 If we effect the necessary con- centration of forces 1 n the Medi- terranean, we can advance against HitIer's communications through the Aegean and Salonika. we can launch an offensive in the Adriatic and move towards Berlin through Austria, or -ve can strike through T0ulon and southern France"
 Col. Kernan believes that sue. cesses in this area would bring Turkey to the side of the United Nations, open the DagdanesIes tO our fleets and the air bases Oe EcutagI and Instanbul Co our planes. Then, we possibly could strike ct HitleyS rear through the MODERN JULES VERNE
