By Richard Overy.

Absolutely outstanding book. It's like you were there in those dark hours, dark days as the world moved inexorably towards war.

In this dramatic account, Richard Overy re-creates hour-by-hour the last days of peace in 1939, as politicians and the public braced themselves for a war they feared might spell the end of European civilization.

At last, a chance to see this book before you buy. The low quality scans below will give you a flavour of the book. The book itself is a 100 times better. Just look at a few of the photos scanned below to see what I mean.
