Written by Peter Neville.
Stock no. 1829816
Published by Hambledon Continuum. 2007. Slightly better than very good condition.

Hitler, Mussolini and Japan posed a terrible threat to Britian and its empire. Britain strove to sustain peace for as long as possible by the traditional tools of diplomacy and accomodation.

This book shows, in contrast, that many of the government's policies were reasonable and well though out... no one in Britain wished to be in another war. Pictorial cardwraps.
