Taylor, a reprint of his influential text The Origins of the Second World War. Controversial for his thesis that Hitler was an opportunist with no thorough plan, The Origins of the Second World War is an extensive exploration of the international politics and foreign policy that lead up to the one of the bloodiest conflicts of the 20th century.Published in 1961, The Origins of the Second World War is a classic of modern history. A.J.P. Taylor's years of research helped change the long-accepted view that Adolf Hitler had wanted and planned in detail for a war. With clear and relatable prose, Taylor depicts the diplomatic mistakes from both the Allied and Axis powers that lead to the outbreak of World War II. A groundbreaking work, The Origins of the Second World War "is an almost faultless masterpiece, perfectly proportioned, perfectly controlled"(Publisher)Military historian Len Deighton called The Second World War and its Aftermath ‘a masterpiece'. From the major campaigns in the East and West - the Blitzkrieg, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbourand America's entry into the fray - to detailed portraits of the five ‘War Lords' - Mussolini, Hitler, Churchill, Stalin and Roosevelt - who governed the course of the conflict, Taylor's account is always eye-opening.(Publisher). Very good.
