The Long Winter of 1933 and the Origins of the Second World War
Paul Jankowski
Against All is the story of the season our world changed from postwar to prewar again. It is a book about the power of bad ideas--exploring why, during a single winter, between November 1932 and April 1933, so much went so wrong. Historian Paul Jankowski reveals that it was collective mentalities and popular beliefs that drove this crucial period that sent nations on the path to war, as much as any rational calculus called "national interest."
