Traces the course of events in 1919-39 with the aid of vast literature, contemporary and later. Davis explains that psychological and political forces; human characteristics of good and evil; susceptibility of large social groups to prejudices, fears, and crazes; the impossibility of a full understanding of a highly complex world, heterogeneous peoples, and complicated situations; and admixtures of naivete, rashness, and timidity all influenced the events, policies, and attitudes of the time. - dustjacket flap.
