At a time when the West seems ever more eager to call on military aggression as a means of securing international peace Nicholson Bakers provocative narrative exploring the political misjudgements & personal biases that gave birth to the terrifying consequences of the Second World War could not be more pertinent. With original & controversial insights brought about by meticulous research Human Smoke re-evaluates the political turning points that led up to war challenging some of the treasured myths we hold about how war came about & how atrocities like the Holocaust were able to happen. Baker reminds us for instance not to forget that it was thanks in great part to Churchill & England that Mussolini ascended to power so quickly & that before leading the United States against Nazi Germany a young FDR spent much of his time lobbying for a restriction in the number of Jews admitted to Harvard.

Praised by critics & readers alike for his gifted writing & exquisitely observant eye Baker offers a combination of sweeping narrative history & a series of finely delineated vignettes of the individuals & moments that shaped history. ...
