      abstract = {Did the arms race of the 1930s cause the Second World War?  In Cry Havoc, historian Joseph Maiolo shows, in rich  detail, how the deadly game of the arms race was played out  in the decade prior to the outbreak of the Second World  War. In this exhaustively researched account, he explores  how nations reacted to the moves of their rivals, revealing  the thinking of those making the key decisions--Hitler,  Mussolini, Chamberlain, Stalin, Roosevelt--and the dilemmas  of democratic leaders who seemed to be faced with a choice  between defending their nations and preserving their  democratic way of life. This unparalleled account of an era  of extreme political tension shows how the interwar arms  race shaped the outcome of World War II before the shooting  even began.--From publisher description.},
