Keith Neilson

Britain, Soviet Russia and the Collapse of the Versailles Order, 1919-1939

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A major re-interpretation of international relations in the period from 1919 to 1939, one that treats the standard explanation for the failure to prevent the Second World War - the appeasement of Germany and Japan by guilty men - as simplistic. Instead, it argues that the new world order created in 1919 provided inadequate means - the League of Nations, arms control and public censure - to deal with the ideological threats of Communism, Nazism, fascism and Japanese expansionism.
