Description
The introductory volume examines the faltering peace that hovered over the world from 1918 until 1939. Under scrutiny are the fateful errors…urgent steps never taken…heads-in-the-sand postures of the major powers…the years of revolution, depression, threats, and counterthreats that brought Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo to Power.
