Unheated History

NEW GOVERNMENTS OF CENTRAL EUROPE -- Malbone W. Graham -- Holt ($5.00). The story of the downfall of Germany and Austria-Hungary and the rise of the Succession States is retold in cold words, but not without prejudice. As a survey of government in Central Europe and Germany, with valuable information on the new constitutions, it is an excellent summary. The close proximity of the book to the events which it describes necessarily precludes good scholarship.
