The Nation’s Awakening
By SPENSER WILKINSON
Crown 8vo, 3s. 6d.
“The essence of true policy for Britain, the policy of common-sense, lies, according to Mr. Wilkinson, in choosing for assertion and for active defence those points in the extensive fringe of our world-wide interests, and those moments of time at which our self-defence will coincide with the self-defence of the world. This idea he works out in a clever and vigorous fashion.”—Glasgow Herald.
“He elaborates his views in four ‘books,’ dealing respectively with the aims of the other Great Powers, the defence of British interests, the organization of the Government, and ‘the idea of the nation,’ ... he deprecates a policy of isolation, and advocates a closer alliance with Germany.”—Scotsman.
“We consider Mr. Wilkinson completely proves his case. We agree ... that Mr. Spenser Wilkinson must make all men think. We welcome the volume, as we have welcomed previous volumes from Mr. Wilkinson’s pen, as of the highest value towards the formation of a national policy, of which we never stood in greater need.”—Athenæum.
“These essays show a wide knowledge of international politics.”—Morning Post.
