Richard Overy, a leading historian of the period, masterfully  recreates the jockeying for advantage that set Europe's greatest powers  on a collision course. Would Stalin join Hitler in a bid to divide  Poland and flout the West? Would Britain and France succeed in forcing  Germany to reason? And how far would a defiant Poland push its claim to  exist? In the summer of 1939, the course of events was anything but  assured, as this exceptionally absorbing book drives home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42516325367883,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":962.63,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/0023\/7387\/files\/9780143120063-1.jpg?v=1783321474","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.co.th\/th\/products\/9780143120063","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Thailand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
