Reviews
On Mar 9 2014, JoshuaLeinsdorf said:
This is the best book about the inter-war years and the run up to World War II. It is the most balanced account. Macmillan, a wounded World War I veteran, served almost continuously in the Houses of Parliament from 1924 - 1964. His is an insiders view; but balanced because his mother was an American. She was born in Spencer, Indiana, so Macmillan is meticulously honest in his analysis of the causes of World War II.
