(Fletcher Pratt) “Life Plays a Naval War Game”, 1938.

(Fletcher Pratt) “Life Plays the War Game,” [in:] Life Magazine, 10 October 1938. New York: Life Publishing, 1938.

Illustrated photo-essay on Pratt and the circle of war-gamers. Looking at that issue of Life, which reported on the Munich conference with the headline “Hitler Listens to Reason,” I have the sense that the bright people in Fletcher Pratt’s apartment are playing at the edge of an unseen abyss. No doubt we are, too.

No. 27.
