Albert Axelbank examines Japan's postwar disarmament and how economic growth may drive rearmament. The piece discusses Article 9, Zaibatsu influence, and the Liberal Democratic Party stance under Tanaka.

Max Fatchen crafts a brisk adventure aboard the Hooton bound for Adelaide in the early 1900s. Jarl Hansen rebels against the brutal shipmate the Hal, fends off capture, and saves an Aboriginal boy, aided by a spirit wind and tribal powers. A vivid portrait of Adelaide and colonial life with a hopeful finish.
A Hawthorn edition reveals a close up life of a frontier squatter. The biography-oriented study targets historians more than general readers and focuses on the hardships and survival of a lone settler on the frontier.
Miss Meriol Trevor reviews The Arnolds a history of nineteenth century religious upheaval in England focusing on Thomas Arnold headmaster of Rugby. Trevor argues Arnold shaped British Empire character as a gentle affable reformer who ruled from an inaccessible heaven while shaping pupils through religious and moral principles amid despotism and reform.
A compact portrait of Tom Wis and Matthew Arnold, tracing their Anglican liberal roots, church reform efforts, and shifts between Catholicism and Protestant faiths. The piece links their political and religious battles to Victorian society, noting Wis’s colonial life and Arnold’s literary influence.
A dense review of Ajewey Jones V Riverside Villas and Amis An overview notes Peter, a child of the era, guiding a Devonshire village murder mystery with calm deduction. It contrasts Amis witty style with traditional whodunits and highlights Bloch and other authors in a collection while praising the rural mood and humane detective work.
The critic damns Noel Barber’s Lords of the Golden Horn as a two part buffer that fails to convincingly chart Ottoman decline. Part one presents sensational tales of sultans and harems, while part two attempts solid history of Abdul Hamid and Mustafa Kemal but falls short. The book is praised for its presentation and pictures though, not for depth or coherence.
