Re-read my old textbook after Dunkirk- it was swell.

It's concise and oft (strangely) humorous. In general, its's a useful overview of the crucial events on the road to war, but would be more developed with further analyses. It's a great companion book to Access to History: War and Peace: International Relations 1878-1941 Third Edition : War and Peace: International Relations 1878-1941 Third Edition .

I read this because it's a set text for history a-level, but the general reader will probably find it a bit boring.
