The Origins of The Second World War book cover

The Origins of The Second World War

A. J. P. Taylor

Explore the causes of one of the bloodiest conflicts of the 20th century with a classic of modern history. Controversial for its thesis that Hitler had no thorough plan, this extensive examination of international politics and foreign policy is a groundbreaking work by influential British historian A.J.P. Taylor. With clear, relatable prose, Taylor depicts the diplomatic mistakes from both the Allied and Axis powers that led to the outbreak of World War II. Discover why The Observer called The Origins of the Second World War "an almost faultless masterpiece."
