Britain, France, and the Naval Arms Trade in the Baltic, 1919-1939: Grand Strategy and FailurePsychology Press, 2003 - 242 Seiten The strategy of the British and French prior to World War II was to preserve the status quo after the disaster of World War I. Donald Stoker's book examines British and French involvement from 1919 to 1939 in the creation and development of the naval forces of Poland, Finland and the three Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. This is an in-depth scholarly study of a subject that should appeal to students of international history, strategy, international relations and naval history in general. |
