Description
1939: The World We Left Behind is a chronicle of life in the years leading up to the Second World War. By examining newspapers from the time, Robert Kee reveals a world where the European emergency was not yet the dominant concern, and where leaders like Chamberlain were still widely regarded as credible.
Kee's account explores how people perceived the events of 1939, and whether they saw war coming or if the world changed overnight. This book offers a fresh perspective on a pivotal moment in history, one that challenges our assumptions about the lead-up to the Second World War.
