the "tension" book inside 1 - Philip Noel-Baker

Several pics are filed under "the_promise_of_world_tensions" tag.

Philip Noel-Baker (1889 - 1982) was one of the people behind the League of Nations and the United Nations. For more information, wikipedia, nobelprize.org and LSE would be helpful.

Another search for Noel-Baker somehow took me to a Konni Zilliacus's bio, which is a very interesting read for me. For example, Zilliacus disapproved of British intervention in the Russian Revolution and when Winston Churchill lied in the House of Commons about what was going on in Siberia, he leaked information to C. P. Scott at the Manchester Guardian and Leonard Woolf of the Daily Herald. (Leonard Woolf is, of course, Virginia's husband.)

BTW, Zilliacus's father was once living in exile in Japan, about which I didn't know; 日本語でも少し言及が。

... The power of the Internet.
