Later Career
Langdon-Davies was dismayed by the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, and this caused him to repudiate the Soviet Union as the betrayer of socialism. During the Second World War, he worked as a military instructor for the Home Guard. Langdon-Davies' later publications included Russia Puts the Clock Back, an indictment of Soviet sciene under Stalin's rule, particularly Lysenkoism. Gatherings from Catalonia was a travel book describing the history of the province.
