PRESIDENT MASARYK
John Murray is publishing a book in which the interest of contemporary vital history is happily blended, with a strong human flavourr—the life-story of one of the most remarkable and glowing personalities of our time. "The Life and Times of Masaryk, the PresidentLiberator," by Victor Cohen, with an introduction by Jan Masaryk, is a just monument to the character, ability, and determination of a man who, from humble beginnings and without opportunity or encouragement, forced his way upward through scholarship and professorship to the position of political leader, war-organiser, statebuilder, redeemer, and President of Czecho-Slovakia. It also weaves the Story of an Age round the life of one who symbolised it. The year 1848 witnessed the birth of the New Europe. We see Masaryk with Bismarck a power in the dynastic age, with Lenin a giant in the war period and when these phases had passed Masaryk emerged the most representative figure in the modern world.
