Purchase options and add-ons

The years between the world wars represent an era of broken balances: the retreat of the United States from global geopolitics, the weakening of Great Britain and France, Russian isolation following the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, the resurgence of German power in Europe, and the rise of Japan in East Asia. All these factors complicated great-power politics. This book brings together historians and political scientists to revisit the conventional wisdom on the grand strategies pursued between the world wars, drawing on theoretical innovations and new primary sources. The contributors suggest that all the great powers pursued policies that, while in retrospect suboptimal, represented conscious, rational attempts to secure their national interests under conditions of extreme uncertainty and intense domestic and international political, economic, and strategic constraints.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Empirically rich and theoretically sophisticated, the essays in The Challenge of Grand Strategy give us a much better picture of the 1930s than we have had before. The reasoning of the players, the complex domestic politics, and their difficult international interactions are marvellously brought to life." - Robert Jervis, Adlai E. Stevenson Professor of International Politics, Columbia University

"These stimulating essays challenge conventional wisdoms, set forth provocative new arguments, and invite reconsideration of International Relations theories as well as the history of the interwar years." - Melvyn P. Leffler, Edward Stettinius Professor of American History, University of Virginia

Book Description

Historians and political scientists re-examine the conventional wisdom of grand strategies pursued by the great powers during the interwar years.
