Fair Condition – heavy cover and spine wear with page-edge tanning.
Robert Kee reconstructs 1939 as it was experienced by the people living through it, from ordinary routines and popular culture to political upheaval and the gathering threat of war. Drawing together contemporary reports, public events and revealing details of daily life, this vivid chronicle follows the final months of peace and the decisions that drew Europe into conflict. More than a conventional history, it captures the atmosphere, assumptions and anxieties of a world on the brink, showing what was lost when the Second World War began.
