Description
Churchill, Hitler, and "The Unnecessary War" How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World by Patrick J. Buchanan
This book offers a provocative history of the two world wars and the Holocaust, arguing that the horrors of these conflicts might have been avoided if British statesmen had made different decisions. Buchanan examines the key mistakes of British judgment that led to the collapse of the British Empire and the rise of Communist tyranny.
The book explores specific events, including the secret decision to take Britain to war against Germany, the Treaty of Versailles, and the unsolicited war guarantee to Poland, which Buchanan believes created a chain of events that led to the Second World War.
