"Except for the many spelling mistakes (in various languages), the edition is a labor of love and deserving of publication....Only it does not come off....[Gerhardie] is, if anything, too serious....This book was his attempt to write the history of 50 years, the first 50 years of his own life. It deals with the history of diplomacy, of war, of literature, of peace, in separate and sometimes isolated chapters ....[It] remains a disjointed book...Yes the book as a whole is a failure; but to use the shopworn phrase, it is still worth the price of admission."Gerhardie, William is the author of 'God's Fifth Column A Biography of the Age 1890-1940' with ISBN 9780879514211 and ISBN 0879514213.
