The presiding analogy for the profitless expenditure of energy that he perceives in European politics is that of Lewis Carroll's 'Caucus-race' in 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland', which provides both his title and his epigraph....moreScanlon's wry (often sarcastic) assessments of a world in turmoil and on the eve of War, the present work preceded by 'Very Foreign Affairs' in 1938, were critically-lauded - this called 'the most vivid commentary on British politics since the war' in a contemporary review.
