It was published early in 1939, just before that war ended. I have not altered this edition in any way, except in order to make it slightly shorter. I have tried to give ... the story of my own service in the International Brigade in Spain, and through that story to give part of the picture of what war is like now.Tom Wintringham was educated, from the age of eighteen, at places along the Western Front, such as Vimy Ridge, and at Balliol College, Oxford, and Moscow. Soon after the Spanish War began he went to Barcelona as a journalist and joined the International Brigade in November 1936. In June 1940 he founded the Osterley Park Training School for the Home Guard, which began the training of that force as a combatant body. This school was later taken over by the War Office. He has written numerous articles on military subjects in a number of the leading periodicals and newspapers, but mainly in Picture Post and the Daily Mirror, apart from the following books: Deadlock War, Armies of Freemen, and New

[Allen]Captain W.E.D. Allen is an Ulsterman brought up in Hertfordshire. Was educated at Eton, where he began to learn Russian and Turkish. During the Riff and Turko-Greek Wars he acted as Special Correspondent for the Morning Post. He became a Company Chairman and an M.P. before he was thirty. During the last ten years has turned to history and contemporary problems. Because he contends that an historian should live events he has studied modern movements throughout Europe. Has journeyed, mostly on foot, through the Caucasus, Taurus, Balkans and Atlas mountains. He is the author of standard works on Georgia and Ukraine and numerous papers on historical geography and mountain warfare. Was serving as a cavalry subaltern in the Middle East when he volunteered for the guerrilla campaign in Ethiopia and was attached to Military Mission 101. An account of his experiences has been published as a Penguin, Guerrilla War in Abyssinia (No.439). He is 42 years old and counts mountain travel and boxing amongst the sports in which he is most interested.Paul Muratoff was born (1881) and educated in Russia (Military College and High Engineering School). During the Russo-Japanese War volunteered with the Field Artillery. From 1906 to 1914 studied history of Art in Russia and Western Europe, and has published books and articles on this subject. In the first world war joined the Artillery again; took part in the campaigns of 1914-15, as second in command of a field battery; later on air defence and staff work with the Black Sea Fleet H.Q. (Sevastapol). From 1918 to 1922 was Professor in the High School of Art,

Moscow, and member of the Academy (History of Material Culture). Since 1922 has lived in Western countries, chiefly in Paris, continuing his studies of Mediaeval Art, publishing books and articles in various languages. Has been interested in military history all his life. Some years ago he started a comprehensive work on the 1914-17 operations on the Russian front, but this has been interrupted by the war. Professor Muratoff has travelled widely; he considers land travel as an essential condition of any historical studies and sea travel as the best possible holiday.

After serving in the 1914-18 war, he went up to Oxford in 1919, and found himself as much immersed in problems of politics and reconstruction as in classics and theology. Between 1923 and 1935 he worked in different student organizations, and travelled extensively in Europe. It was then that he became interested in the Jewish question, his first book on the subject, The Jew and his Neighbour, appearing in 1930. This has been followed by The Conflict of the Church and the Synagogue; The Jewish Problem in the Modern World; Jesus, Paul and the Jews; and other books, pamphlets and articles on the same subject, on which he has lectured extensively in a number of countries. In 1935 the official Nazi antisemitic organization - the Antisemitische Weltdienst - tried to murder him in Geneva. A countryman by birth and inclination, he lives in a village overlooking the East Anglian plain, and spends his spare time cultivating his garden.

Notes: [inside front cover] This popular but full account of the epoch-making trial of the War criminals at Nuremberg, specially written for Penguin Books by The Times special correspondent who covered the process, is intended as a permanent summary and record of the first attempt to bring to justice the authors and begetters of an international crime against humanity. The reasons for the holding of the trial are discussed in Sir David Maxwell Fyfe’s foreword. The body of the book consists of a summary of the Indictment and the general case for the Prosecution; details of the cases against the individual accused, with extracts from the evidence given in the course of the trial; a condensation of the final speech for the Prosecution; particulars of the case against the Organisations; and a summing-up of the final judgment and sentence. Although not an ‘official’ publication, the book has been prepared in consultation with the Central Office of Information ...R.W. Cooper was born in Toronto, 1904. Entered journalism by wilful interest and in full possession of his faculties, and after training in the provinces joined Foreign Department of The Times in 1925. Six years in Paris Office during the hey-day of Cochet and Lacoste led to opportunity of writing about his favourite game on being appointed Lawn Tennis Correspondent in 1934. From Wimbledon he went to the Maginot Line as The Times war correspondent with the French Army. After the retreat to Bordeaux he watched the early makings at home of the modern British Army, and in 1942 went out to India and Burma, where such operations as the Arakan Campaign and the first Wingate Expedition left intervals for observing the political scene. D-day landed him back in France, and apart from the tumultuous days of liberation in Paris, he remained with the Second British Army from Normandy to Holland. For the rest of the war he was at SHAEF headquarters. Then came Berlin and the long assignment to the Nuremberg Trial, when he wrote the history of it all.

The publishers were confident that the book was of first-class importance, but they had not foreseen the stir it was to cause, not in America alone, but throughout the world. ... [Inside front cover]: ... analyses the causes of war and the nature of peace. ... Peace will exist only when absolute national sovereignty, which causes anarchy in international relations, gives way to universal legal order - when the relationship between nations is regulated not by treaties but by law. ...Emery Reves studied in the Universities of Berlin and Paris, and received his degree of Doctor of Political Economy from the University of Zurich. In 1930, he founded and is president of Cooperation Press Service and Cooperation Publishing Company, formerly of Paris and London, now of New York City. During the pre-war years his organization developed into a unique observation tower from which Mr. Reves had to follow events most closely, as newspapers naturally expected the articles received from Cooperation to be up to the minute. For ten years Mr. Reves constantly travelled from country to country, covering an average of 30,000 miles per year. He was in the closest personal contact with all the leading figures of European political life and attended most of the important international conferences and meetings. Mr. Reves is also responsible for the publication all over the world of Hermann Rauschning’s conversations with Hitler, Fritz Thyssen’s I Paid Hitler, Prince Starhemberg’s Between Hitler and Mussolini, and other similar anti-Nazi documentary books. He had three last-minute escapes from the Gestapo. In the fall of 1942, he wrote A Democratic Manifesto, which had rather extraordinary reactions. Several universities and high schools adopted it as a text-book, and it was the subject of sermons in various churches.

Rear cover: author port. and biographyNotes: [p.vi] In May, 1946, The New Yorker sent John Hersey ... to the Far East to find out what had really happened at Hiroshima: ... the cost of the bomb in terms of human suffering and reaction to suffering. The characters in his account are living individuals, not composite types. The story is their own story, told as far as possible in their own words. On August 31st, 1946, Hersey’s story was made public. For the first time in The New Yorker’s career an issue appeared which, within the familiar covers ... carried no satire, no cartoons, no fiction, no verse or smart quips or shopping notes: nothing but its advertisement matter and Hersey’s 30,000-word story. ... It created a first-order sensation in American journalistic history: a few hours after publication the issue was sold out. ... It here appears - save for following English spelling conventions - in an edition of 250,000 copies, exactly as it appeared in the pages of the New YorkerRe-issued 1958 as Penguin Special S173 [q.v. also]John Hersey was born in Tientsin, China, on June 17, 1914, the son of a Y.M.C.A. worker engaged on famine relief. He was taken to the United States when ten years old, where he attended Hotchkiss School, and later Yale, where he was an active and versatile undergraduate, and assistant Editor of the University’s daily paper. He graduated in 1936, subsequently doing a year’s post-graduate work in England at Clare College, Cambridge. For a time he acted as private secretary to Sinclair Lewis; and then joined the editorial staff of Time. His “Men on Bataan” (1942) and “Into the Valley” (1943), both received as outstanding war books, were fruits of his three years’ experience in war reporting in the Pacific, Italy, and Russia. “A Bell for Adano” won the Pulitzer Prize for a novel in 1944, and was made into a highly successful play. While reporting for New York Life on Guadalcanal, he was commended by the Secretary of the Navy for bravery in helping to remove the wounded. To most Englishmen Hersey would seem more like a rising young American businessman than a successful author. He dresses his tall, wiry figure with conservative care, always looking well-groomed and polished. His quiet, earnest, friendly manner and good looks make it seem as if nature had been uncommonly generous with him. He has far more than his quota of good and faithful friends scattered across the American continent, and in the remote lands of his journeys. cf. biog. to S173

Francesca M. Wilson studied history at Newnham College, Cambridge, of which she is now Associate. At the beginning of the 1914-1918 War she began to teach, but gave it up for relief work, and thereafter she worked for Belgian refugees in Holland, for French children in Haute Savoie and for Serb exiles in Corsica and Tunisia. After the Armistice she worked first in Serbia, then in Austria, and later in Russia during the famine. She resumed teaching in 1925 (in Birmingham) but got temporary leave from it during the Spanish Civil War, when she did relief work in Republican Spain and after the fall of Barcelona for Spanish refugees in France. In 1939 and 1940 she was in charge of British help to the Poles who had fled into Hungary, and became involved in an organisation by which Czechs escaped - through Budapest - from the Gestapo. In 1944 she published In the Margins of Chaos - recollections of Relief Work with Appendix on Advice to Relief Workers. She took up work as WEA Tutor in the London and Cambridge areas, and lectured on relief work to various groups up and down the country. In Jan.1945 she joined Unrra as Principal Welfare Officer, arriving in Germany two days after its defeat, and working among the Dachau victims and other Dps in the American Zone of Germany. In the summer and autumn of 1946 she visited Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Austria under Unrra auspices, and on her return finished the present book.

Bibliog., indexPrinters: C. Nicholls and Company Ltd, London, Manchester, ReadingPrice: 1/-Rear cover: author port. and biographyNotes: [Inside front cover]: Early this year we approached Mr. John Parker, M.P., and Mr. Quintin Hogg, M.P., suggesting that each should write for Penguin publication a book expounding the political faith of the Labour and Conservative parties respectively. Our intention was that both books should be of the same length, and should be published simultaneously. When the manuscripts were received, it was found that while Mr. Parker had kept closely to the length suggested, Mr. Hogg’s exposition had run to about double the size we had anticipated. Asked whether he could not reduce his book to the limits originally stipulated, he found this impossible:

Page 12: Penguin Specials: Appendices€¦  · Web viewJames Parkes, already familiar to Penguin readers under his pen-name, John Hadham - was born in Guernsey in 1896, and educated there

and we were bound to agree that, although his book could not be published at a shilling without being cut by fifty per cent, such cutting was quite impracticable, unless the book were to be completely rewritten on a much more condensed plan. It was therefore decided, with the agreement of the authors, to issue Mr. Hogg’s book in full, but as a Penguin Double, at the price of two shillings. The difference in price between the two books, therefore, does not mean that the publishers wish either to penalise the advocacy of Conservatism by charging the reader more than a fair price for it, or to suggest that Labour policy is worth only half as much as Conservative policy! ...John Parker was born 1906 and educated at Marlborough and St. John’s College, Oxford where he won an Open Scholarship. After taking an active part in student Labour politics he became an assistant on the Merseyside Social Survey (1929-32). Helped by only one typist he took over the Secretaryship of the New Fabian Research Bureau (1933) which grew until it merged with the revived Fabian Society of which he was General Secretary (1939-45) and is now Vice-Chairman. These bodies established themselves as research organs for the Labour Movement to work out the programme now being carried out by a majority Labour Government. Entering Parliament aged 29 for Romford (1935) then the largest division, John Parker became M.P. for Dagenham (1945). He was Parliamentary Private Secretary to Ellen Wilkinson at the Ministry of Home Security (1940-2), a member of the Speaker’s Conference on Electoral Reform (1944) and of the Parliamentary Delegation to Russia (1945-6). He has also been a member of the London Labour Executive (1942-7). The author of Modern Turkey (1940) and of 42 Days in the Soviet Union (1946), he has also contributed to books on Public Enterprise, Democratic Sweden and Czechoslovakia.

This book looks into the values of Chinese civilization as it has persisted through five thousand years among four hundred million people. It finds that the New China that is being built up in the West follows a pattern of life that is partly old and partly new. If China can emerge from this struggle a united democratic nation based on ideals not unlike those of the Anglo-Saxon people, there is hope of a world order of freedom and peace.Winifred Galbraith was educated at Sydenham High School and Westfield College, University of London, where she won high Academic honours in English.
