The Blind Century, Vol. I

The book presents a compelling argument that the outbreak of the 1939 war, and the subsequent World War, stemmed from the ambitions of the English Tory aristocracy. Through detailed diplomatic history and correspondence, it reveals how their desire for a new conflict with Germany was driven by the need to maintain their declining empire, challenging conventional narratives of the war's origins. Prof. Hoggan's analysis sheds light on the political motivations behind the war, offering a critical perspective on historical events.
