Synopsis"In this book, Pat Buchanan sheds new light on the causes on the two world wars that made the twentieth century the bloodiest in history and brought an end to 500 years of western dominance." "Drawing on the work of more than a hundred historians, Buchanan's insight to the true cause of Britain's collapse has been embraced by strategic experts, among them the dean of Cold War diplomacy George Kennan, who concurred with Buchanan's central argument, at the heart of this book, that it was Britain's 1939 war guarantee to Poland that sealed their fate and doomed the Empire."--BOOK JACKET.
An excellent and compelling revisionist view of the early XX century and its protagonists
If you are a Churchill worshiper, you will not enjoy reading this well-written book. If you are open minded you may find plenty here to agree with. Pat Buchanan boldly states that Churchill presided over the decline of the British Empire and that he was to a large degree responsible for this decline. While this is written from American perspective, it is a well researched and clearly argued text. Much recommended.
