Covered a time period that often overlooked.

Provided a much better understanding of WWII and post war politics. Brings home the dangers of socialism.

This one surprised me

I didn't expect much from this book as the period between the wars isn't an interest, but it was a page turner. The author made the interwar years sound very tense and exciting. Recommended.
