has quoted Herbert Butterfield, a choice between good and evil, but between
lesser evils and partial goods. The norms which Dr. Thompson finds are these:
(1) that men share qualities by being sons of God which states should recognize;
(2) the church should teach patience toward world affairs as well as in all other
things; (3) American Protestants should avoid preoccupation with growth and
reform in the interest of a more basic &dquo;partnership&dquo; rather than &dquo;patronage&dquo;;
(4) the best in missionary enterprise should be translated abroad in secular terms;
and (5) all mankind lives under God, which fact Christians especially should
not forget.
In an epilogue, Dr. Thompson concludes that both the nature of the inter-
national relations problem and the preoccupations of modern observers must
share an accountability. Not all decision can be on a &dquo;do something now&dquo; basis.
And he truly observes that Dr. Hans J. Morgenthau, the high priest of the power
school, is not so completely a power apostle as he likes to think himself to be.
All students of power and values may find guidance and information in this
challenging book.

wealth of information geared to the first ten volumes of this series is to
be found in this atlas and gazetteer. The maps are drawn for the period being
discussed with place names as they were, not as they are. The maps are often
poorly executed, which creates reading difficulties. The shading on many maps
has been drawn with uneven spacing and depth of color.
