First published in Hebrew under the title Umoth ba-Mivhan (Maarachot/MOD, Tel Aviv 1985). This translation is updated and revised. The analysis is of three cases: Czechoslovakia in 1938, Poland from 1939 to 1945, and Finland in 1940 and 1941. The author is scrupulous in not drawing too many general lessons from these cases, but the imprudence of overreliance on great power protection and of ceding to justifications from surrender based on self-determination are made clear. Paper edition, $19.95 (unseen). Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
