Description
In 1934 Hector Bywater stood, barely out of the First World War, staring unknowingly at the second.
In this contemporary work on what would become known as the Interwar Years, Bywater writes of the growing tension between the nations.
Japan’s expanding naval force.
France’s fear of new warships in Germany.
Italy and France locked in an arms race.
The stage for war is being set and at times it seems like Bywater is the only one who can see it.
He stresses over and over the need for increased armament.
He goes into detail on the military capabilities of various nations, noting their growing military power.
The Interwar Years between the First and Second World Wars are fascinating to read about. This classic account, written in the midst of many of the issues it discusses, provides a valuable contribution to the history of Twentieth-Century conflict.
Hector C. Bywater (1884-1940) was a British journalist, military author and spy, primarily focused on naval affairs. His 1925 work The Great Pacific War correctly predicted many of the actions that the Japanese and Americans took during WWII; indeed, it was later revealed that many military leaders had used it as a resource in their strategic planning.
