Dickson.Leadership and Responsibility in the Second World War examines how well political, diplomatic, and military leaders, particularly in Great Britain, handled the daunting challenge of a worldwide conflagration. It seeks to determine if a connection can be delineated between leadership, responsibility, success, and failure - specifically if any connection can be found between reluctance to shoulder responsibility and failure to produce results. In doing so, the authors challenge widely accepted views on major wartime controversies, such as the role of Neville Chamberlain and his Conservative party at the outbreak of the war, the reasons the British failed to reach an alliance with the Soviet Union in 1939, and the motives that drove Claus von Stauffenberg to attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler.Leadership and responsibility in the 2nd World WarWorld War, 1939-1945Diplomatic historyGreat BritainPolitical leadershipGreat BritainHistory20th centuryCommand of troopsHistory20th centuryGuerre mondiale, 1939-1945Aspect politiqueGrande-BretagneLeadership politiqueGrande-BretagneHistoire20e siècleCommandement des troupesHistoire20e siècleGreat BritainPolitics and government1936-1945World War, 1939-1945Diplomatic historyPolitical leadershipHistoryCommand of troopsHistoryGuerre mondiale, 1939-1945Aspect politiqueLeadership politiqueHistoireCommandement des troupesHistoire940.53/41Farrell Brian, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut214023Vogel Robert1485883Farrell Brian P(Brian Padair),1960-1143645MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783797203321Leadership and responsibility in the Second World War3705169UNINA
