En god lille bog om optakten til WWII, hvor vi får beskrevet alle de involverede parters bestræbelser på, at undgå krigen. Det var dog mest Frankrig og England, som forsøgte, at undgå en ny stor europæisk krig, mens Hitlers regime havde bestemt sig for, at tage chancen og erobre Polen uden, at de andre ville blande sig - men sådan gik det ikke.
