In the autumn of 1938, Europe believed in the promise of peace. But
only a year later, the fateful decisions of just a few men had
again led Europe to a massive world war. Drawing on contemporary
diaries, memoirs, and newspapers, as well as recorded interviews,
1939 is a narrative account of what the coming of the Second World
War felt like to those who lived through it. Frederick Taylor,
author of renowned histories of the Berlin Wall and the bombing of
Dresden, highlights the day-to-day experiences of ordinary citizens
as well as those who were at the height of power in Germany and
Britain. Their voices lend an intimate flavor to this
often-surprising account of the period and reveal a marked
disconnect between government and people, for few people in either
country wanted war. 1939 is a vivid and richly peopled narrative of
Europe's slide into the horrors of war and a powerful warning for
our own time.
