description: "Marie-Jacqueline Powell's detailed analysis examines the foreign policies of the British and French governments in this period towards Poland and the Baltic States, and finds them to have been shaped not so much by an active desire to help these new democracies, but by an overwhelming need to avoid war with Germany, whilst also countering German influence in the region." With the imminent entry of these countries into the European Union, this book is a timely reminder of the significance of even the smallest nation in a continent so politically and historically complex.
