Description
The period between 1914 and 1945 continues to arouse acute historical controversy, and detailed research into the foreign policies of the major powers has become a large-scale industry. This clear introduction maps the complex and changing patterns of international relations in this turbulent period, provides a judicious synthesis of the increasing volume of modern research on it, and guides the reader with a sure hand through the historiographical controversies which have arisen.
