All Against All: The Long Winter of 1933 and the Origins of the Second World War by Paul Jankowski
Requirements: .MP3 reader, 443 MB
Overview: All Against All is the story of the season our world changed from postwar to prewar again. It is about the power of bad ideas – exploring why, during a single winter, between November 1932 and April 1933, so much went so wrong. Historian Paul Jankowski reveals that it was collective mentalities and popular beliefs that drove this crucial period that sent nations on the path to war, as much as any rational calculus called “national interest”. Over these six months, collective delusions filled the air. Whether in liberal or authoritarian regimes, mass participation and the crowd mentality ascended. Hitler came to power; Japan invaded Jehol and left the League of Nations; Mussolini looked toward Africa; Roosevelt was elected; France changed governments three times; and the victors of 1918 fell out acrimoniously over war debts, arms, currency, tariffs, and Germany. New hopes flickered but not for long: A world economic conference was planned, only to collapse when the US went its own way.
