In the most comprehensive study in any language of the background to the Italian-Ethiopian War, the author investigates how the leaders of the great, and lesser, powers reacted to Mussolini’s open preparations for his invasion of Ethiopia in October 1935, and analyzes the profound consequences of their actions. Skillfully disentangling the complex political, diplomatic, and military events, George Baer shows that Great Britain and France, in particular, found themselves caught between their obligations to the Covenant of the League of Nations and their desire to maintain good relations with Italy. Unable to act decisively, they let Mussolini’s war begin and left an empty shell in Geneva, thus setting the stage for World War II. More

Thomas Andrew Bailey (December 14, 1902 – July 26, 1983) was a professor of history at his alma mater, Stanford University, and authored many historical monographs on diplomatic history, including the widely used American history textbook, The American Pageant. He was known for his wit and clever terms he coined, such as "international gangsterism." He popularized diplomatic history with his entertaining textbooks and lectures. Bailey contended foreign policy was significantly affected by public opinion, and that current policy makers could learn from history. Perhaps the harshest attack on Wilson's to diplomacy came from Bailey in two books that remain widely cited by scholars, Woodrow Wilson and the Lost Peace and Woodrow Wilson and the Great Betrayal, Bailey: contended that Wilson's wartime isolationism, as well as his peace proposals at war's end, were seriously flawed. Highlighting the fact that American delegates encountered staunch opposition to Wilson's proposed League of Nations, Bailey concluded that the president and his diplomatic staff essentially sold out, compromising American ideals to secure mere fragments of Wilson's progressive vision. While Bailey primarily targeted Wilson in these critiques, others did not emerge unscathed. His works remain noteworthy for the care with which Bailey systematically overturned myths about U.S. diplomatic history by reexamination of the underlying sources. More

Nephew of a Regius Professor of Modern History, and the son of a Cambridge LittD, he himself held a Fellowship at Corpus Christi College for over fifty-four years (1933-87), and, following appointment as Lecturer in History in 1937, remained a loyal and hard-working member of the History Faculty until his retirement in 1975. This service, both to college and university, was interrupted only by spells with the Ministry of Supply and with the Foreign Office during World War II. A leading authority on the French Third Republic, he published, over nearly fifty years, three classic studies of Le on Gambetta, which in conjunction with his other studies of French history, and of Anglo-French relations, earned him the respect and affection of historians in both countries. Bury was also heavily involved in the compilation of that massive cooperative post-war labor, the Documents on British Foreign Policy, 1919-39. He edited volume ten of the New Cambridge Modern History (1960). More
