Power, a fantastic work of Russell’s extended bibliography. Written just before the start of WW2, the reader, if rudimentarily familiar with the political psychology of that time, will notice Russell’s observation of events and socio-political matters leading up to the war. In many respects whilst reading the book, which is now almost 1oo years after the war ended, one cannot help but acknowledge Russell’s writing to be almost prophetic as to what will come in the years following the books first release. Readable and well-thought, this book should be considered necessary for familiarising oneself with the pre-existing events that can occur prior to a politically colossal transformation.
