Trying to Stop a War in 1939

TRYING TO STOP A WAR IN 1939 is a compendium of communications exchanged between the political and diplomatic representatives of Great Britain, Poland, Germany and Russia, in the year leading up to the German invasion of Poland in September 1939. Originally published by the British Foreign Office as a testament to its extraordinary diplomatic efforts to rein in Hitler's territorial ambitions, this voluminous collection of speeches, communiqués, cables, letters, messages and notes has been faithfully reproduced verbatim. Only explanatory headings have been added to help the reader easily find the pertinent individuals or subject matters of interest.
