The Little Entente, by John 0. Crane (Macmillan, $2.50), is
a good apology, and does not profess to be anything more: • The author in his introduction describes it as an interpretive (sic) study " of the subject. It suffers somewhat from its unusual arrangement, the order of chapters being dictated by the sub- ject, and not by chronology, and from one bad omission ; the dependence of the Little Entente upon French support, and French influence upon its policy, are scarcely mentioned at all. In this respect Mr. Crane exercises a greater restraint than is practised in the countries themselves. His book is, however, a simple and mainly accurate, if biased account, and he is substantially right in saying that the importance of the Little Entente is political rather than economic or military.
