Diplomatic Battles Before World War II

This book by the author Vilnis Sipols offers a detailed analysis of the policy of appeasement whereby the Western powers had encouraged German, Italian and Japanese aggression.

This book reviews some of the trickiest problems of prewar years as well as causes and circumstances behind the outbreak of World War II, and the aggressive scheming by the fascist states. It offers a detailed analysis of the policy of appeasement whereby the Western powers had encouraged German, Italian and Japanese aggression. Much of the book is about the Soviet diplomatic effort to forestall fascist aggression and prevent war.

The book presents copious hitherto unpublished material from Soviet and foreign archives.
