"Mr. Oppenheim has here taken for his hero a modern leader who has elected to stand aloof from the conflict of the political world, but he has created a strong, distinct personality, and not merely exploited one already familiar. 'A Lost Leader' is as fascinating a story of modern life as any novelist has yet conceived, and one that arrests the mind by its fie strenuousness of purpose."
