The Spanish Civil War, by Hugh Thomas. The best account yet to appear of this sad and savage war, the truth of which, even more than the truth of most wars, has been buried by lies and lost allegiances.

The Faces of Justice, by Sybille Bedford. A sort of Baedeker of the European courtroom by a novelist (The Legacy) and writer of extraordinary insight, who shows how, in various countries, man treats man in the grip of the law.
