Abstract
A “Short List of Books on International Relations” recommended by the Education Committee of the League of Nations Union (15, Grosvenor Crescent, S.W.I) includes 141 titles arranged in two lists, the first consisting of books for boys and girls and the second of books for students and teachers. The latter is arranged in six sections dealing with the League of Nations, with education, with international relations, with special problems, with collective security and peaceful change and with colonies and raw materials, respectively. The majority of the books are of the descriptive type, but a number of constructive critical works are included, mostly from rather a Left Wing point of view. In addition, the list gives the titles of a number of songs and celebrations as well as of maps and periodicals, and forms on the whole a useful introduction to the study of international relations.
