NY: Norton. G PB. (1963). Reprint. How can men who are good, upright, intelligent, and trained to public service make such fantastically bad mistakes of judgment . and of conduct. Rowse brings it all back - the sense of rushing into the abyss, the desperate feeling feeling that nothing could save us, the impatience amounting to despair with good men who did wrong." Henry Steele Commager How author Rowse, from working-class people, saw more deeply into affairs than those leaders did. The total upshot of their leaders was to aid Nazi-Germany to achieve a position of total adcendancy, a threat to everybody else's security or even existence, which only a war could end. Some edge wear, top of title page clipped, underlining and jottings. .
