Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex dynamics of the British Commonwealth of Nations in the late 1930s, a pivotal period marked by rising global tensions and the waning influence of traditional power structures. The author meticulously examines the national interests and perspectives of member nations, including the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland, shedding light on their unique challenges and aspirations. Against the backdrop of a world grappling with economic nationalism, political instability, and the looming threat of war, the book explores the evolving nature of cooperation within the Commonwealth. It delves into critical issues such as trade policies, defense strategies, and foreign relations, highlighting both the unifying factors and the divergent interests that shaped the Commonwealth's trajectory. The author's insightful analysis reveals the delicate balance between individual national priorities and the collective pursuit of peace, security, and a more just global order. By offering a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the British Commonwealth's complexities during this critical juncture in history, this book provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by a group of nations navigating a rapidly changing world.

"His experiences in 1941-2 were a major factor in Lord Mountbatten's decision to ask him in 1963 to write a history of the transfer of power in the subcontinent and to offer him unfettered access to the enormous Mountbatten archive. The Great Divide was published six years later. It was an impressive book: lapidary, perceptive, dispassionate, and scrupulously fair" (ODNB). Octavo.
