"The Avoidable War details how World War II, its destruction, and its consequences could have been avoided. Volume 1 chronicles three converging streams that brought Europe to crisis in the summer of 1935: the growing military might of Nazi Germany; Mussolini's ambition to build a new Roman Empire in East Africa; and the Peace Ballot, a massive mobilization of British public opinion in favor of peace, disarmament, and collective security through the League of Nations.
