Description - The Origins of the Second World War by Patrick Finney
Our understanding of the origins of the Second World War have been
transformed in recent decades. The opening of the archives of the major
combatant powers, changing perspectives, and the reorientation of
international history away from a narrow preoccupation with diplomacy
have all resulted in a more rounded conception of international
relations in the period, embracing also the role of economics, strategy,
propaganda, and intelligence.
This volume provides a
clear and accessible guide to these changes, and to the current state of
debate. Presenting some of the most important contributions in the
field, it addresses key issues and controversies; the roles of the
democratic and revisionist powers, issues of economics, strategy, and
opinion; and the road to war itself. Each section is supported by an
editorial introduction, explaining the significance of the material
selected and, in particular, the light it throws on what continues to be
at stake in debates about the origins of the war.
