First the author attempts to survey the course of events in Europe between the two great wars and the gradually changing policy of the US as the world approached catastrophe. He describes his mission to Europe in the spring of 1940, when the President sent him to ascertain, by interviews with the heads of states, whether there still remained any possibility of establishing just and permanent peace. Part two of this book is concerned with the problems - past, present, and future - in various areas and countries of the world. Part three has to do mainly with the future. He presents a plan for an effective world organization, including the part that the US must take in world affairs if there is to be any reasonable hope of enduring peace and security.
