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.

I knew nothing about this book when I bought it for 33.33333... JPN, and it was Gilbert Etheredge's front cover design that made me choose this one out of the "3 for 100 yen" boxes - and I didn't know the designer's name, either. A sheer accidental find.

The other day, I was fishing through a "3 for 100 yen" box at a used book store.

There was only one book that I actually wanted, and I kept looking through the other two "3 for 100 yen" boxes, and found this.

And this is why I love the "3 for 100 yen" boxes.

*100 yen is about 50 pence in the UK, 75 cents in EU, 1 dollar in the US, ...
