THIS WORLD OF NATIONS: FOUNDATIONS, INSTITUTIONS, PRACTICES

By PITMAN B. POTTER. The MacmillanCos., New York City. 1929.

The "humanizing of knowledge" has been carried a step further; international relations have now been subjected to a thorough and capable scrutiny and their essential foundations, institutions and practices set forth in a vivid and attractive style. In this book we have an eminent specialist rising above his speciality to give light and guidance to his non-specialist fellow-citizens in order that they may the better play the role of participating in that popular control of foreign relations which democracy expects of its citizens. The author gives his own views on theories, policies and problems with a wholesome vigor and clarity, and challenges the reader to come to grips with the realities of contemporary international affairs.
