contain: photos of Adolf Hitler, Joseph Kennedy and his eldest sons
Joe, Jr. and JFK, Japanese soldiers on the Yellow River in China, and a
troop of Indian soldiers in the British army preparing to defend Hong Kong
from Japanese attack; and

the breakdown in Austro-German negotiations and Britain's foreign policy
being shaped toward peace under Anthony Eden, the Foreign Secretary.
