About This Item
Book is indistinguishable from new, no bumps no writing. DJ is very good plus with quarter-1 inch split at top foldover. Shadow is from scanner, not the book. Gilbert throws light on the anachronism of the U.S. decision to help the French keep control of their S.E. Asia colony, discussion (1954) of dropping atomic bombs on Vietminh positions. The logic of Britain attacking Egypt and the Canal Crisis of 1956 in which Britain and France (Eden and Moller) connived with Israel and the UK opposition party (Gaitskill) denouncing military attack. The Soviets (Kruschev) taking the opportunity to move into Hungary. And so it goes on with revelations of the secret political manoeuvring of the western nations. As always, his writing s superb.
