Sally Marks argues with scholarly authority that the period between 1918 and 1933 was defined not by genuine reconciliation among European powers, but by a web of unstable compromises, nationalist tensions, and strategic miscalculations that rendered lasting peace impossible. Drawing on extensive research into the Treaty of Versailles, the League of Nations, and the succession of diplomatic crises that punctuated the interwar years, Marks presents a compelling and authoritative reappraisal of why collective security failed so catastrophically. The tone is analytical and unflinching, dismantling comforting myths about the interwar period and illuminating the structural forces that drove Europe toward another catastrophic conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887997923547,"sku":"2026200009327-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9239d443-d261-42d2-ac57-f516b6177649.png?v=1781751992","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009327-secondhand-the-illusion-of-peace-international-relations-in-europe-1918-1933","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
