Abstract
THIS book left its author's hands a few months before the outbreak of war, and though he was sanguine enough to say that the events at Munich in September 1938 “saved the world from war at that time, and possibly for ever”, yet his book does not on that account lose any of its real value. Dr. Brown is a well-known psychologist of a definitely marked type. He writes here as a psychologist on the subject of war and peace, and he would have done well if he had adhered rigidly to the scientific point of view, and avoided even distant references to his political convictions. The book would probably also have gained in weight and influence if greater care had been bestowed upon clear and consecutive exposition.
