THE WAR AND CULTURE

An Answer to Professor Musterberg

By JOHN COWPER POWYS

12mo, 113 pages, 60 cents

Mr. Powys says of this book that he has sought to correct that plausible and superficial view of the Russian people as "the half-civilised legions to whom we have taught killing by machinery"—a view to which even so independent a thinker as George Bernard Shaw appears to have fallen a victim.

The Nation says:—"It is more weighty than many of the more pretentious treatises on the subject."
