“YEAR OF RECKONING”

WAR CORRESPONDENT’S BOOK NEVA VOLUMES AT WANGANUI i PUBLIC LIBRARY vv. Yet another account of foreign affairs is provided in “Year of Reckon- fc ing,” by the well-known foreign correspondent, G. Ward Price, which is among the latest books received at the Wanganui Public Library. Mr. Price was with Hitler on hi.s triumphal progress into Vienna at the time of the Anschluss, and was also with the Prime Minister of Great Britain, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, on the latler's journey to and from Berchtes- a( garden during the September crisis of °. last year. Mr. Price writes of foreign c * affairs as he sees them and gives his v conclusions as to the probable de- al vclopments of the future. By an anonymous author, “The ,n Man Who Killed Hitler” takes the reader behind the scenes in Nazi Ger- wl many, not to watch the conquest of or a dictator, but to hear and feel the heart, of a crushed people, x’ljis story Is weirdly credible from first to last fu and has swept America. It was the ol cause of its publisher being kid- de napped and threatened with death. ai “Gallipoli Adventure,” by John ai. Gillam, is a first-hand and vivid ac- th count of the Gallipoli campaign, as th seen by an officer who went through si< the whole expedition. The comrade- tu ship of the Australian troops, the Ai humour that was extracted from the | u[ grim and inhospitable surroundings, |th the brilliant evacuation at the end, reads more like fact that fiction in w , this unusual love story. w New books added for the week end- W( ing October 14, 19.39, are: - a | : Fiction.- “The Man Who Killed m Hitler,” anon.; “Such is Love.” Mary he Burchell; “Double Blackmail,” G.
