In the Background

The bitter argument about our
current difficulties hasn't stilled
the clamor about how we got into
World War II. Two heavily docu-
mented volumes come to very diff
ferent conclusions. In Back Door
to War" Regnery) Charles c.
Tansill sets out to prove that it
was Roosevelt, not Hitler or TOTO,
who was the aggressor. In 1.-The
Challenge to Isolation, 1887 1910"
(Harper), william L. LANCER and
S. Everett Gleason present q
somewhat less biased interpreta-
ton of the historical facts.
An admirably balanced account
of the first major effort at inter-
national organization is "A His

Kirk, the Ambassadors wife who
was allowed to see little more
than the American diplomatic

Russia from top to bottom was
Valentin Gonzalez. the Spanish
civil war peasant general. who
tells his experiences in "El Cam

a Communist hero and treated as
one of the party elite, he later
talked himself into series of
slave labor camps from Siberia
to the Caucasus.

A more sensitive account of the
psychological effects of a slave

Reports on Asia

Few books on foreign affairs
reach mass audiences, but this
year three unusual reports on Asia
did. Two were Book k-of-the-Month
Club selections which quickly
found places on the best-seller
lists. Supreme Court Justice Will
liam o. Douglas. whose Strange
Lands and Friendly People" was
widely read last year, followed up
with Beyond the High Hima-
layas" doubleday, another vivid
description of men and mountains
in the remote areas of Central
Asia. Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of
New York visited Communist
threatened Southeast Asia and in
Journey to the Far Pacific"
doubleday wrote a warm and
friendly book on what he found
there.
Although both books could
properly be claSsed as travel, they
are considerably more than that.
Justice Douglas and Gov. Dewey
do not see eye to eye on what our
course in Asia should be, but both
of them write with a sympathetic
awareness of Asia's problems in
terms of people rather than poll
tics.

Some of the conspirational
methods used to advance the
Soviet cause are reviewed in two
books on atomic espionage, Oliver

Americans, Harry Gold. David
Greenglass, and Julius and Ethel
Rosenberg, and Alan Moorehead's
"The Traitors" (Scribner's), which

Satellite Lands

For an overall view of what the
Soviet brand of peoples democ-
racy" has meant to the countries
taken over by the Russians we can
turn to Leland Stoves Conquest
by Terror" ORandom House,. Mr..
Stowe reports in startling detail
on Russian progress in sovietiZing
Eastern Europe and arming it
against the West.
The sovietizing process has its
failures as well as its successes, at
least in Czecholovakia, country
Western in culture and stubborn
in its democratic tradition. Dana
Adams Schmidt indicates in An
atomy of a Satellite" atlantic
Little, Brown.
On the other side of the Iron
Curtain, the efforts of the North
Atlantic treaty nations to build
a bulwark against Communist ag-
gression are described by Drew
Middleton in "The Defense OF
Western Europe" (Appleton-Cen-
tury-CrOftS).
Even the satellite picture is not
entirely black. For Marshal Tito
of ex-satellite Yugoslavia is living
proof that Stain, like the rest of
us, makes his share of mistakes.
One of the best biographies of
Tito and by far the best recent
book on Yugoslavia is "The Eagle
and the Roots" doubleday, COM
pleted by Louis Adamic shortly
before his mysterious death. 1t
could hardly be called objective.
but it is an excellent exposition
of the Yugoslav viewpoint by
man who loved his native land.
A more scholarly study of the
Yugoslav break with Russia is
Adam B. Ulam's "Titoism and the
Cominform" (HarvarO, which is
typical of the excellent work being
done at the Russian Research
Center at Harvard University.

the experiences of two Catholic

of his days in a Red prison in

War in koreu

The war in Korea, where the
casualty lists continue to mount
despite interminable truce talks,
has produced comparatively few
books. One, at least, made the
news columns when its comments
on war correspondents, censorship
and security got its author into
trouble with the higher brass.
Some one seems to have objected
rather strongly to 1t. Col. Melvin

rean Tales" (Simon & Schuster)
that Gen Macarthur himself was
rather careless with 9th Army
security.
