Hardcover. Etat : Good. Etat de la jaquette : Includes dust jacket. First Edition. First Edition. 1939: The Making of the Second World War by Sidney Aster is a clear, tightly argued study of the diplomatic manoeuvring and political misjudgments that led Europe into war. Aster examines the decisions of Britain, France, Germany and the smaller states caught between them, showing how appeasement, mistrust and shifting alliances narrowed the chances of avoiding conflict. He pays close attention to the months immediately before September 1939, analysing the pressures on policymakers and the miscalculations that proved decisive.

Cloth. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Good. 1st History Book Club Edition. Slight foxing to end pages and edge. Slight shelf wear to edges and corners of D/J.

From this mass of evidence the author has constructed a masterly narrative. Lucid and compulsively readable, it is at the same time meticulous in its use of courses, balanced and scholarly. There is no doubt that this book is the definitive account of one of the most critical years of this century. Illustrated. 456 pp.…
