SHORTER NOTICES—continued
The Annual Register, 19so. (Loniptians. 3 Gns.) nos invaluable work of reference continues to show that the writing of contemporary history can be made both accurate and read- able. Its format is that to which we have become accustomed in the past four years, and most of the contributors are the same. Fifty years hence the year with which this volume deals-1950—will be certainly remembered for at least two events, one of national and one of international impor- tance: the general election, and the begin- ning of the war in Korea. It is this latter event which dominates the international scene for the second half of the year, and which, by its implications, justifies the title which is given here to the final chapter in the history of the United Kingdom for the year—" The Darkening Way."
