Description

512 pp. Index, bibliography, list of abbreviations, extensive footnotes. Eight pages of black and white photographic plates. "Explores the treachery between - and within - the nations that were ostensibly allies during the Second World War. Demonstrates the extent to which the Allied war effort was driven by vested interests, primarily concerned with the balance of power in the post-war world rather than the defeat of Germany and Japan, thus prolonging the war by as much as two years and resulting in a Europe divided between East and West, and the onset of the Cold War." - dust jacket. Former library copy with relatively few markings. Average wear. Dust jacket preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. Please note: pages 13-20 were loose but have been taped in place. A worthy reading copy of this fascinating and well-researched study. Book
