From the standpoint of a true patriot and in the spirit of man to man, Sir Robert Menzies stresses, in The Forgotten People, both the rights and the duties of the people and of Parliament. He states clearly what the Liberal Party’s position is, what its aims are, and the part that every citizen must play if the war is to be won. He looks toward the future, the post-war world, and shows how we must work and plan today to combat the dangers that will inevitably beset tomorrow. He examines the meaning and achievements of democracy; he analyses the implications of President Roosevelt's four freedoms; and he upholds the dignity and the rights of the "forgotten people"--the middle classes, the "backbone of this country."
