War With the Newts

"It is splendidly done. The mere verisimilitude of the account, the vivid detail that so accurately suggests the whole of the contemporary scene, is in itself an achievement; but the great merit of the book lies in its scathing irony. The methods practiced in the name of politics, economics, education and all the rest are pilloried, and discomfited by the slings and arrows of outrageous wit. It is magnificent, and if it is not war, it is a massacre, anyway, of the far from innocent."Capek, Karel is the author of 'War With the Newts' with ISBN 9789231035999 and ISBN 9231035991.
