About the author
Born in 1891, George Glasgow was a British author and publicist whose work ranged widely across archaeology, international politics, economics, and current affairs. Reliable catalog and library records link him to books such as The Minoans (1923), Macdonald as Diplomatist (1924), General Strikes and Road Transport (1927), From Dawes to Locarno (1926), and Peace with Gangsters (1939).
Wikisource identifies him as an "author and publicist" and notes that he also wrote Ronald Burrows: a Memoir and contributed articles to the 1926 Encyclopædia Britannica. Taken together, those records suggest a writer deeply engaged with both scholarship and public debate, equally interested in ancient civilizations and the urgent political questions of his own time.
A brief death note on Wikisource indicates that he died in 1958. I couldn't confirm many personal details beyond his birth year and literary career, so the surviving picture is mainly of a versatile nonfiction writer whose books connected history with the pressures of the modern world.
