Synopsis

What if the greatest tragedy of World War II wasn’t just that it happened, but that it could have been stopped?

In Peace at Daggers Drawn, historian and author Peter David Orr shatters the half-century-old myth of an unyielding, monolithic Allied front against Nazi Germany. Delving deep into secret archives, diplomatic dispatches, and private diaries, Orr exposes the labyrinth of back-channel peace feelers, neutral maneuvers, and high-stakes desperation that spanned from the invasion of Poland to the fall of France.

From Hitler’s persistent, racist delusions of an Anglo-German alliance to Neville Chamberlain’s intricate "Peace Front" strategy and Winston Churchill’s masterful orchestration of fear and resolve, this book uncovers how close Europe came to a negotiated settlement. Discover why Stalin played a masterclass in geopolitical double-crossing, how Franklin D. Roosevelt and Sumner Welles maneuvered behind the scenes, and why the ultimate tragedy of 1939–1940 was a catastrophic clash between two irreconcilable visions of the future: a German "ethnostate" order versus an Allied demand for liberty and security.

Riveting, meticulously researched, and paradigm-shifting, Peace at Daggers Drawn forces us to re-examine the true nature of diplomacy on the brink of the abyss.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Peace at Daggers Drawn is the story of the diplomatic initiatives (both official and unofficial, public and secret) intended to end or stop the spread of World War II. Special attention is devoted to specific peace proposals, initiatives, and back-channel attempts, all within the context of the foreign policies of the principal nations concerned. Efforts designed to end hostilities by belligerent and non-belligerent nations are included. This work is confined to the European theater of operations and covers the earliest stages of the conflict: September 1, 1939, to September 17, 1940.
