In this magisterial narrative, Zara Steiner traces the twisted road to war that        began with Hitler's assumption of power in Germany. Covering a wide geographical        canvas, from America to the Far East, Steiner provides an indispensable reassessment        of the most disputed events of these tumultuous years.Steiner underlines the        far-reaching consequences of the Great Depression, which shifted the initiative in        international affairs from those who upheld the status quo to those who were intent        on destroying it. In Europe, the l930s were Hitler's years. He moved the major chess        pieces on the board, forcing the others to respond. From the start, Steiner argues,        he intended war, and he repeatedly gambled on Germany's future to acquire the        necessary resources to fulfil his continental ambitions.Only war could have stopped        him-an unwelcome message for most of Europe. Misperception, miscomprehension, and        misjudgment on the part of the other Great Powers leaders opened the way for        Hitler's repeated diplomatic successes.It is ideology that distinguished the Hitler        era from previous struggles for the mastery of Europe. Ideological presumptions        created false images and raised barriers to understanding that even good        intelligence could not penetrate. Only when the leaders of Britain and France        realized the scale of Hitler's ambition, and the challenge Germany posed to their        Great Power status, did they finally declare war.
