Securing the World Economy
Securing the World Economy explains how efforts to support global capitalism became a core objective of the League of Nations. Based on new research drawn together from archives on three continents, it explores how the world's first ever inter-governmental organization sought to understand and shape the powerful forces that influenced the global economy, and the prospects for peace.

The Great Depression in Europe, 1929-1939

Modern Europe, 1789-Present
Now covering the whole of Europe from the French Revolution to the present day, this major new edition has been completely revised and brought up-to-date.

The Failure of Economic Diplomacy
Based on new archival research, this is the first comprehensive study of the failure of international co-operation to combat the Great Depression.

The economic and diplomatic lessons drawn from this period by the major powers - particularly German intelligence as to the deep divisions in Anglo-American economic relations - also provide an important contribution to understanding the origins of the Second World War and the diplomatic and economic order created in its aftermath.
