Churchill, Hitler, And "The Unnecessary War" by Patrick J. Buchanan
How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World
The book contends that the outbreak of the Second World War was not inevitable but the result of British and Allied choices—particularly the decisions and rhetoric of wartime leaders—arguing that many of Germany’s grievances after the Treaty of Versailles were legitimate, that Hitler’s aims were more limited than commonly portrayed, and that alternatives to declaring war in 1939 were available; it casts the British leadership as having provoked and made the conflict unavoidable through a refusal to negotiate, mischaracterization of appeasement, and political calculation, and marshals diplomatic history to challenge the orthodox view of sole German responsibility.
