The Life Story of a Russian Exile, by Mario Sukloff

(William Heinemann, 6s. net), is the autobiography of a terrorist. The author was twice exiled to Siberia—on the second occasion for assassinating a provincial Governor during the revolutionary outbreaks ten years ago—and twice made her escape. Many exciting events are described, and the psychological aspects of the book are also of interest, though it may be doubted whether its publication at the present time was altogether judicious.
