Gilbert Keith Chesterton 
The Crimes of England 

Brilliant, political, historical, social, and topical literary essays. A list of England’s crimes is furnished, but they are not those of which she was accused by the Germans. Among the best chapters is ‘The Awakening of England’, and among the finest writing is the last chapter, on the Battle of the Marne. It is good to read Mr. Chesterton once more and to read him at his best.
