Innocent Men by Peter Howard

This book is a First Printing from 1941 with the original dust jacket.

About this book:

“Peter Howard, journalist, set out to get a scoop. On the gossip of Fleet Street he expected to denounce a ring of doubtful characters in London. And he found-Innocent Men!

He found religious persecution. In war-time Britain, he found a group of patriotic men and women, thousands of them in the Services, who are being black-guarded, attacked, misrepresented. Howard got at the truth. He found-Innocent Men!

He brought to his task a sceptical eye. "My whole business for years," he says, "has been to drag the truth out of politicians reluctant to disclose it. I never begin an interview without expecting an attempt to put something over on me. I am on the look out."

Another thing happened.

Peter Howard set out to investigate—and was investigated. The scoop-hunt turned into an adventure which changed his whole way of life. Something more exciting than his old game of playing for England at Rugby football.

He found a programme for total defence well in its stride in Britain and America.

He found a new Britain in the making.

He found the first real prospect that, after all the blood and tears of this war are ended, a world different and better can be built.”
