Nota wydawnicza: The Dramatic memorable Story of How World war ti Began „ON BORROWED TIME” is a dramatic, detailed narrative of a climactic year, by an English war correspondent who personally knew many of the world leaders involved in the catastrophic events, that erupted into World War II. Here is Chamberlain, Churchill, Daladier, Mussolini, Hitler, Goring, Masaryk, Stalin, Molotov—here are behind-the-scenes activity of the bungling Foreign Office and the Quai d’Orsay; the clandestine duels of national intelligence forces, the frenetic negotiations of Berlin, London, Paris, Moscow; the diplomatic, political, and military blunders of inept and willful men who yielded to Hitler — and opposed him — at precisely the wrong moments. Not since The Guns of August has there been such a gripping history of the seeds of war, as this shattering indictment of European Allied leadership, in the year 1938-1939.
