Set between the two world wars, The Road to War examines how economic hardship, political unrest and diplomatic missteps turned fragile peace into global conflict. Historians Richard Overy and Andrew Wheatcroft trace each nation’s challenges—mass unemployment, revolutionary threats and power struggles—that reshaped Europe’s destiny.
The authors delve into Germany’s quest for "living space," Britain and France’s cautious diplomacy, Italy’s ambitions, the Soviet Union’s strategic calculations and the United States’ evolving role. Their narrative combines rigorous scholarship with accessible storytelling, offering fresh insights into the forces that steered the world toward war.
Ideal for readers intrigued by 20th-century history, this study highlights how decisions made in desperate times can have far-reaching consequences.
