One of the most popular and controversial historians of the twentieth century, who made his subject accessible to millions, A.J.P. Taylor caused a storm of outrage with this scandalous bestseller. Debunking what were accepted truths about the Second World War, he argued provocatively that Hitler did not set out to cause the war as part of an evil master plan, but blundered into it partly by accident, aided by the shortcomings of others. Fiercely attacked for vindicating Hitler, A.J.P. Taylor's stringent re-examination of the events preceding the Nazi invasion of Poland on 1st September 1939 opened up new debate, and is now recognized as a brilliant and classic piece of scholarly research. 'Highly original and penetrating...No one who has digested this enthralling work will ever be able to look at the period again in quite the same way' - "Sunday Telegraph".

4 (Muito bom)

Depois de um bom tempo lendo, finalmente consegui terminar. Mas não se trata de ser um livro ruim, longe disso. Incrível o trabalho do historiador de demonstrar como as Guerras estão conectadas e como uma invariavelmente levou a outra. Foi a apresentação, também, de uma visão que não havia sido apresentada a mim. Em resumo? Adorei.
