"Crozier's book is an important addition to the literature on the
deeper causes of the Second World War. Not only does the author
present a comprehensive examination of the diplomacy of the
European powers during the entire inter-war period, he also gives
considerable attention to events in the Far East - a topic that is
rarely dealt with in tandem with European developments. But it is
his examination of the period in light of the historiography of the
subject of the causes of the war that makes his work a significant
contribution. Crozier's efforts to place the historical debates in
context add to the work's value to the student or casual reader.
Scholars of diplomatic history of the inter-war period will find
the work thought provoking. The author presents an in-depth
reconsideration of British foreign policy and, particularly, of
appeasement and all it has come to stand for." Christine A.
