First sentence: Britain was the most successful of the nineteenth-century European powers in expanding its territory overseas, but that very success brought an increasing nervousness and sense of vulnerability as well as prestige and status as a world power.
Description: "In 1941 the European war became a world war. This book explores that process in its economic, political and ideological dimensions. Margaret Lamb and Nicholas Tarling examine the significance of the Asian factor and the importance of East Asia in the making of the war in Europe and the transformation of the European war of 1939 into the world war of 1941."--BOOK JACKET.
