§ Sir J. GriggThe Forces Book Club provides for the Services a supply of books of a wide range of interest at cheap rates. The books selected are intended to appeal to various tastes and points of view but the fact that a book is selected in no way gives official approval to or recognition of the views which the book contains. I will myself read the book in question and then consider the point raised in the last part of the Question.
