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.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“The problem, thus, is not whether or not women are to combine marriage and motherhood with work or career but how they are to do so—concomitantly in a two-role continuous pattern or sequentially in a pattern involving job or career discontinuities.”
—Jessie Bernard (20th century)
