Ideas Have Legs by Peter Howard

Ideas Have Legs by Peter Howard.

Fighting ideology for democracy is at work on a world front. It can save the future says this famous athlete and top political writer.

Here is information about the book from the dust jacket:

“During the critical London meeting of the United Nations the New York Times carried a two-column wire-photo from London headed: UN DELEGATES READ 'IDEAS HAVE LEGS.' It pictured the representative from Iran, on whose table lay two copies of this fast-selling, thought-moving book.

This remarkable work by one of Britain's most powerful writers supplies the clue to the confused world picture facing the democracies today.

Ideas Have Legs is the story of the next twenty years in the making. In the many colored perspective of one eventful life we meet the men and the ideas that shape our times. Churchill, Beaverbrook, Lenin and a host of others step through its pages.

Peter Howard is on terms of friendship with the top figures of British political life and is probably the best informed writer today on the underlying issues of the European scene-the great ideological struggle which is back of ominous headlines from every corner of the globe. As political columnist for the Beaverbrook press his writings hit over three million circulation a day.

In addition, as a former Captain of England's international football team and bobsled champion he is one of the most widely known popular figures in Britain's world of sport.

Amid the strengths and frailties of statesmen, the humors and labors of farming, the thrills of international football and the world's bobsled championship, runs an idea which illuminates the world situation and makes plain the democratic way ahead.

Howard's diagnosis has the refreshment of valid hope. He goes beyond criticism to cure.

Ideas Have Legs has also been published in Britain, Canada, India, Denmark and South Africa, and is soon to be published in Australia and Holland. Editions in French and German are in preparation. British editions now total 175,000 copies.”
