PRE-WAR DIPLOMACY
PRELUDE TO WORLD WAR II, by Gaetamo > Sia Victor Gollancz, English price "HIS is a fine and heartening bookheartening because there can be published today a volume which has the moral indignation of the nineteenthirties. Salvemini was driven into exile by the Fascist dictatorship in 1925 and returned to his Chair of History at Florence in 1949, In the intervening years, mainly at Harvard, he worked on this book-tthe story of the diplomacy that led to the last war. The biggest shock is the revelation of British foreign policy as carried out by Austen Chamberlain, Simon, Hoare, Baldwin, or-yes, Eden. By contrast, Neville Chamberlain shines with a dull lustre. For the historian, political scientist, or person seriously interested in public affairs this is the best book written in English on the period. If there is any criticism it is that the author sees history too much in terms of the moral attitudes of the makers of policy, and not sufficiently in economic forces.
