The Origins of the Second World War

£4.99

From influential British historian A.J.P. Taylor came the controversial thesis, set forward in The Origins of the Second World War, that Hitler was an opportunist with no thorough plan, and stumbled into WWII by accident, not design. The author attempted to explore the international politics and foreign policy that lead up to the one of the bloodiest conflicts of the 20th century. On its publication in 1961, the book received a huge backlash from public and critics alike, although eventually becoming a classic of modern history. Taylor depicts the diplomatic mistakes from both the Allied and Axis powers that lead to the outbreak of World War II. A groundbreaking work, The Origins of the Second World War was later hailed by the Observer as “an almost faultless masterpiece, perfectly proportioned, perfectly controlled”. This Penguin paperback edition is in excellent condition.
