Abstract
THE Anglo-Saxon tradition has “impregnated the political institutions of the Anglo-Saxon world on both sides of the Atlantic and has provided patterns to all Europe and to the lands that look to Europe”. Prof. Catlin seeks, in this book, to re-clarify the political and moral content of that tradition and to derive from it guidance as to the course which should now be taken by the Anglo-Saxon peoples. This tradition is contrasted with the conception of man's purpose in the world that arises from Fascist and Communist ideology.
