War Can Be Averted - The Achievability Of Collective Security

With the book is a 'slip' of paper from the publisher the says 'with compliments of from Miss Eleanor Rathone'. // The text served as a fierce, systematic denunciation of the British government's policy of appeasement toward Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. Instead of passive concessions, Rathbone fiercely advocated for a grand defensive alliance and an unyielding commitment to international law. Rathbone's warnings proved tragically prophetic when World War II erupted just a year after the book's release. Despite standing as an Independent MP, her stance in War Can Be Averted won prominent backing from other anti-appeasement figures of the era, including Winston Churchill, Clement Attlee, and David Lloyd George. /// This is a cloth bound 1st edition hardback in good condition-the cloth of the cover is a little marked & the text pages are 'browning' & the previous owner has signed the front 'end-paper'.
