European Neutrals and Non-Belligerents during the Second World War

This collection provides the most comprehensive English-language survey of the conduct of neutral and non-belligerent states during the war for fifty years. The essays focus on how individual neutral governments perceived international developments and reveal the domestic political circumstances that critically affected their response to the course of the war. They therefore provide the political context that has been overlooked in recent controversies surrounding their humanitarian and financial activities, and offer analytical introductions to the large amount of historical writing unavailable in English.
