SEES VICTORY COMING
_____ '■ i Witli his new book, "Prophet at • Home," which Jonathan Cape has pub- j iished, Douglas Reed completes the j trilogy which he began with "Insanity Fair," and continued with "Disgrace Abounding." Just as in each of his former books he recorded the Euro-| pean scene and the imminence of war • as a background to a narrative of per- j sonal adventure so he describes impressions and experiences on returning to England after his eventful years abroad. In this way he presents a. picture of England as he saw her; saved as by a miracle from the full calamity which threatened her in the summer of 1940. and facing the ordeal of the enemy's air raids, during the succeeding/autumn and winter. "He now believes." we are told, "her decisive victory to be within her grasp, but again he sacrifices those things in the English way of life which he thinks likely to delay that victory, or to lose the next, peace as the last one was lost."
