Rezensionen

"An excellent book has just got better. The text has been refreshed with insights drawn from the most recent scholarship, and biographical sketches of nine wartime leaders lend color and clarity to the account. This is an ideal book for undergraduate courses on U.S. foreign relations or 20th century U.S. history." -- Andrew J. Rotter Charles A. Dana Professor, Director, Peace and Conflict Studies, Colgate University

"Justus Doenecke's new edition of the interwar era emulates the era's great American sport by touching all four bases: the newest scholarship, superb writing, compelling argument, and in 1941 an appropriate climax. A home run." -- Walter LaFeber Andrew H. and James S. Tisch Distinguished University History Professor Emeritus, Cornell University
