Abstract

The article focuses on the diary of Dr. Davis which depicts something about him and the background of this curious document. He was found unconscious on June 21, 1948 and spent the rest of his life in a private room in Billings Hospital, where he wrote his diary over a period of ten years. The doctors were unable to decide just what was wrong with him, if anything. The diary is a remarkable document in so far as it shows that all the suffering through which the world to go including the Third World War, the fourth World War, the forcible establishment of a world government and the present upheavals. His clumsy style does not make the diary easy reading but the student with political ideas may be rewarded by a deeper understanding of modern political thought.
