Description
Astonishing new history of the disastrous years leading up to the Second World War. On a wet afternoon in September 1938, Neville Chamberlain stepped off an aeroplane and announced that his visit to Hitler had averted the greatest crisis in recent memory. However, less than a year later, Germany invaded Poland and the war began. This book sweeps from the advent of Hitler in 1933 to the beaches of Dunkirk, presenting an unforgettable portrait of the ministers, aristocrats and amateur diplomats whose actions and inaction had devastating consequences.
Drawing on previously unseen sources, the author skilfully traces each shameful step to war, revealing the complex web of diplomacy, infighting and indecision that enabled Nazi domination of Europe. A compelling and detailed account of a pivotal period in history, this book sheds new light on the events that led to one of the most devastating conflicts of the 20th century.
