Reviews

'A most impressive and very valuable contribution. I found this a highly persuasive and realistic account. I am particularly fascinated by the British and American diplomatic materials, which is one of the book's main strengths and key sources.' Peter Loizos, Emeritus Professor, London School of Economics
