E. D. Morel: The Man and His Work
By SEYMOUR COCKS
With an Introduction by Col. WEDGWOOD, D.S.O., M.P.
This book gives a detailed description of the work of one of the most praised and most abused men of recent years. “His name should go down to posterity with that of Wilberforce,” said, on one occasion, a well-known newspaper which, a few years later, published almost daily attacks upon him. The book is divided into three parts. The first part deals with Morel's earlier years and shows how his views on Free Trade and Native Rights in Africa were formed. The second part gives the first detailed account of the Congo Reform Movement and of the great campaign which lifted the yoke of slavery from millions of natives in tropical Africa. The third part describes Morel's fight against Secret Diplomacy and Militarism, and his attitude towards the recent War. The book contains a large number of facts of considerable importance to all interested in the history of the last twenty years.
The World after the War
By CHARLES RODEN and DOROTHY FRANCES BUXTON
A vivid picture of the net effects of the War, and of Allied policy since the War, especially upon the lives of the common people in all lands. Enough detail is included to give the sense of poignant human realities; but the situation is grasped as a whole and drawn in broad and distinct outline—the “Balkanisation” of Europe; the new Balance of Power; the economic chaos; the responsibility of the Allied statesmen; the inner meaning of Bolshevism, and of the war against Bolshevism; finally, the elements of hope and recovery, and the possibility of a great religious revival.
