“Leon Blum, Poet to Premier,” is the title of the first biography of the French statesman published here. The author is Richard L. Stokes; Coward-McCann is the publisher.
John Gunther, author of “Inside Europe,” in reviewing the book for the Herald-Tribune declares Blum’s “record is magnificent,” adding that “his career represents a triumph of decency and reason and humanism in a world gone mostly mad.”
The biography, Mr. Gunther states, “unearths some marvelous stuff about Blum’s early life…..details quite new in English.”
