Sažetak
Written by Telford Taylor, retired brigadier general, lawyer and historian - who is perhaps best known as chief U.S. procesutor at the Nuremberg trials - this is the most comprehensive study ever made of the origins of Woprld War II. Munich examines the issues, intrigues and personalities (Hitler and Chamberlain, in particular) of the fateful conference of 1938, which, according to the author, "shattered the pre-existing power structure of Europe". And to enlarge our understanding of this "nodal point in the course of modern history", it traces all the diplomatic and military alignments and machinations in Western Europe between the wars, from the Treaty of Versailles and the Paris peace conference of 1919 to Munich and Hitler's invasion of Prague, and their aftermath.
