Publisher's paper wrappers. - -- - "I have written this book at the suggestion of certain of my parliamentary colleagues who desired to have placed before them in a concise form a recital of those grievances under which the Hungarian minorities in the Succesion States are suffering." - -- - Sir Robert Vaughan Gower (1880 - 1953) was a British solicitor and Conservative Party politician from Kent. He sat in the House of Commons from 1924 to 1945.

Black and white map at rear, 122pp. 21.5 x 14cm. Edges a little foxed, original wrappers browned in places, overall a very good copy. An impassioned essay examining the marginalisation of ethnic Hungarians separated from the Kingdom of Hungary by the Treaty of Trianon. Within, the author explores the status of the Hungarian minorities within the Little Entente nations of Romania, Yugoslavia, and Czechoslovakia, concluding with a denunciation of a perceived double standard held by the League of Nations regarding self-determination. At rear, two topographic maps of the Pannonian Basin illustrate the territorial losses incurred by Hungary. The author's views have been clearly influenced by the triumphalistic, irredentist narrative peddled by the Horthy regime, though they have been expressed in seemingly intuitive, pacifistic terms amenable to the British public. Much of Gower's argument hinges on a purported desire to strengthen the credibility of the League of Nations by preventing undue discord in Central Europe, thus avoiding a wider conflict - albeit this aim is achieved by acceeding to the demands of a proto-fascist state.
