He revised the book during the late 1930s, before the<br \/>\noutbreak of World War II. References to political developments of the period between the world wars were introduced at this<br \/>\ntime, often in footnotes.

He commented<br \/>\non the changed international situation in footnotes and made alterations here and there throughout the book, but brought<br \/>\nit up to date mainly by the addition of a Postscript Chapter.
