Smith, Gene The Dark Summer: An Intimate History of the Events That Led to World War II
New York Collier Books April 1989 0020373902 / 9780020373902 N Paperback VG+ VG+ N
Editorial Reviews&newline;&newline;From Library Journal&newline;Experienced historian Smith details the personalities and events of the summer of 1939 as the world was drawn into a war that no one but Adolf Hitler wanted. England, Germany, and Russia are the focus; memories of prominent and &doublequote;ordinary&doublequote; folk are interwoven to give the feel of the time. Step by painful step, this account moves from the death of Czechoslovakia to the Russo-German pact to the intimidation, then destruction, of Poland. Although Smith adds mothing new, his evocation of the elegiac mood of a doomed society is quite readable. Recommended for most libraries. Pat Ensor, Indiana State Univ. Lib., Terre Haute&newline;Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
