Description
First published in November 1939, this little penguin remarkably holds up as a useful and well-written summary of the run-up to war from somebody immersed in British politics at the time. As with any book of its era, the slight historical inaccuracies or outdated ideas are still present. The final portion, discussing the possible future of Europe, is highly revealing- nobody in 1939 could have comprehended the scale or scope of destruction that was about to unfold, or could have predicted the events which would shape the world after the war’s conclusion.
