Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Subtitled, "The Beginnings Of World War II, The End Of Civilization". A meticulously researched and revelatory perspective on the political, social, religious and economic events throughout the world in the years leading up to WWII. Controversially, Baker reminds us that it was largely thanks to Churchill and England that Mussolini came to power so quickly, and the young FDR spent much of his time lobbying for a restriction in the number of Jews admitted to Harvard.
