Ten years Cheek-and-Jowl with the Russians in BERLIN



James Wakefield Burke's suggested topics

Figure


THE POWDER KEG ON WHICH WE SIT! Can we avoid World War III?  When is it likely to start? Where?  Will atom - hydrogen - cobalt bombs be used?  Will it be a short quick war, or a world-devastating debacle?  Who will win?  What are your chances of survival?


THE BIG RAPE
How the Russians raped Berlin in May-June 1945.  How they plan to rape the world.



THE NEW GERMANY — FRIEND OR FOE?
Mr. Burke has lived for ten years—since the end of World War II—in Germany.  He has studied the Germans, both East and West Germans, at first hand.  He has lived cheek-and-jowl, so to speak, with the Russians in Berlin.  Do the Germans fear the Soviets more than they resent the Allies?  Have the Germans forgotten two stinging defeats at the hands of the Americans, British and French?  Can we trust them with arms today?



YOUR PEACE AND WAR TODAY
What are the chances for lasting peace with the Soviet block?  Just what does peaceful coexistence mean?  Can it work?  How great is the Soviet influence in America (Washington) today?  Is our government becoming a government of the people, by the socialists, for the Communists?

The most powerful novelist to emerge from World War II

Curt Riess, Berlin

An American who understands the Continent and its machinations in relation to the United States.

Dr. Paul Martin, Lausanne

Mr. Burke is a hard-hitting American who gives a graphic picture and can tell a moving, realistic story.

Christer Jaderlund, Stockholm Tidningen

James Wakefield Burke has managed an understanding of the peoples of war-torn Europe from their desperate days of struggle for survival at war's end to their prosperous recovery.  He is able to hold them up against their own historical backgrounds and analyze their attitudes toward the shifting of world power Westward.

Adolf Benz, Nieuwe Rotterdamse Courant
