Taylor, a reprint of his influential text <i>The Origins of the Second World War.</i> Controversial for his thesis that Hitler was an opportunist with no thorough plan, <i>The Origins of the Second World War</i> is an extensive exploration of the international politics and foreign policy that lead up to the one of the bloodiest conflicts of the 20th century.</b> <p/>Published in 1961, <i> The Origins of the Second World War</i> is a classic of modern history. A.J.P. Taylor's years of research helped change the long-accepted view that Adolf Hitler had wanted and planned in detail for a war. With clear and relatable prose, Taylor depicts the diplomatic mistakes from both the Allied and Axis powers that lead to the outbreak of World War II. A groundbreaking work, <i> The Origins of the Second World War </i>is an almost faultless masterpiece, perfectly proportioned, perfectly controlled (<i>The Observer</i>).<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The only English historian now writing who can bend the bow of Gibbon and Macaulay."--David Marquand "The New Statesman"<br><br>"This is an almost faultless masterpiece."--Sebastian Haffner "The Observer"<br>
