Does anyone know any good articles/free books about the origins of World War II? I know it was a Morgan/Rockefeller war and that it was to restore the sagging New Deal policy, but I would like more information about it.
I would recommend Churchill, Hitler, and the Unnecessary War by Pat Buchanan, if you have time to go to your bookstore. He does take a colonialist view on foreign policy, but he does criticize British foreign policy from 1914-1945, pointing to Britain’s willingness to violate Belgian neutrality to enter WWI, to the evil Versailles Treaty that led to Fascism, Nazism, and Communism, to the British and French refusal to reoccupy the Rhineland, to the alienization by Britain of Italy and Japan, to the Munich Agreement, and finally to the war guarantee.
I actually study Pre-War Japanese Nationalism so if that is the side you are looking for I would love to share knowledge.
