THE ANATOMY OF PEACE
by Emery Reves · Harper
"Open Letter to the American People", signed by Owen J. Roberts, J.W. Fulbright, Claude Pepper, Elbert D. Thomas, and other dignitaries: "The first atomic bomb destroyed more than the city of Hiroshima. It also exploded our inherited, outdated political ideas. "A few days before the force of Nature was tried out for the first time in history, the San Francisco Charter was ratified in Washington. The dream of a League of Nations, after 26 years, was accepted by the Senate. "How long will the United Nations Charter endure? With luck, a generation? A century? There is no one who does not hope for at least that much luck- for the Charter, for himself, for his work, and for his children's children. But is it enough to have Peace by Luck? Peace by Law is what the peoples of the world, beginning with our selves, can have if they want it. And now is the time to get it." The Anatomy of Peace by Emery Reves, first published in 1945, is a book that expressed the world federalist sentiments shared by Albert Einstein and many others in the late 1940s, in the period immediately following World War II. Reves argued that world law was the only way to prevent war, and the fledgling United Nations Security Council would be inadequate to preserve peace because it was an instrument of power, rather than an instrument of law. "I have read THE ANATOMY OF PEACE with the greatest admiration. Your book is, in my opinion, the answer to the present political problems of the world, so drastically precipitated by the release of atomic energy. "It would be most desirable if every political and scientific leader in every country would take a little time to read this book. If this could be brought about, I feel it might avert the disaster of an atomic world war."—Letter from Albert Einstein to Emery Reves dated October 29, 1945.

BURMA SURGEON RETURNS
by Gordon Stifler Seagrave · Norton
"Recent years have offered no more human story than Dr. Seagrave's Burma Surgeon, the account of his medical mission in the jungle wilds and his experiences in the battle of Burma. Now in this new book, he tells what happened to himself and his hospital unit after the retreat with Stilwell. Safe at last in India, survivors of an epic struggle, bereft of home and family, the doctor and his nurses felt that it was the end of all their hard work and dreams; but they had only one thought---to help drive the Japs out of Burma, and some day to see again their home in Namkham. ... Throughout his exprience Dr. Seagrave writes of the medical problems and achievements of his unit in his own entertaining and heartfelt style, and as the unit shares in the liberation of Burma he discusses the future of medicine and missions, sanely, humorously and with a strong love for Burma and its people."--Dust jacket flap.
