Reviews

'In a vigorous and much-needed response to the emerging conventional wisdom that democracies conduct sensible and often enlightened foreign policies. Alexander Groth re-examines the Western response to Hitler. With scathing analysis, he shows that the ability to view the world accurately, to adequately mobilize resources, to act expeditiously and effectively, all were absent not only before World War II, but during it as well.' Robert Jervis, Columbia University, USA
