This 1970 book by Donald Horne has been sitting unread on my shelves since I bought it in Sydney, Australia.

A test now, for the linguists:
When do you think the following book about England was published? These are the last two pages of the book:
Ferdinand Tönnies? 1915..1917? Since you also feature Horne's book I thought it might be Warlike England as seen by Herself, but I don't read German. S
