Were they necessary wars? Or were they products  of calamitous failures of judgment?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this monumental and provocative history,  Patrick Buchanan makes the case that, if not for the blunders of British statesmen– Winston Churchill first among them–the horrors of two world wars and the Holocaust  might have been avoided and the British Empire might never have collapsed into ruins.  Half a century of murderous oppression of scores of millions under the iron boot  of Communist tyranny might never have happened, and Europe’s central role in world  affairs might have been sustained for many generations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Among the British and Churchillian  errors were:\u003cbr\u003e • The secret decision of a tiny cabal in the inner Cabinet in 1906 to  take Britain straight to war against Germany, should she invade France\u003cbr\u003e • The vengeful  Treaty of Versailles that mutilated Germany, leaving her bitter, betrayed, and receptive  to the appeal of Adolf Hitler\u003cbr\u003e • Britain’s capitulation, at Churchill’s urging, to  American pressure to sever the Anglo-Japanese alliance, insulting and isolating Japan,  pushing her onto the path of militarism and conquest\u003cbr\u003e • The greatest mistake in British  history: the unsolicited war guarantee to Poland of March 1939, ensuring the Second  World War\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Certain to create controversy and spirited argument, \u003ci\u003eChurchill, Hitler,  and “the Unnecessary War”\u003c\/i\u003e is a grand and bold insight into the historic failures  of judgment that ended centuries of European rule and guaranteed a future no one  who lived in that vanished world could ever have envisioned.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50951595426080,"sku":"9780307405166","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9780307405166.jpg?v=1763639696","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/es\/products\/churchill-hitler-and-the-unnecessary-war","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
