Advancing towards World War II

In his latest book Human Smoke American writer Nicholson Baker questions the commonly held belief that the Allies wanted to avoid World War II at all costs but were forced into action by Hitler. Citing a wide range of documentation, newspaper and magazine articles, radio broadcasts, memoirs and diaries, he examines the motives of the United States and Britain for going to war.
