Germany and the Far Eastern Crisis 1931-1938: A Study in Diplomacy and Ideology

By John P. Fox

Book Overview

This widely acclaimed study, originally published in 1982, focuses on the role played by the German Foreign Office (the Wilhemstrasse) in determining Germany's Far Eastern policies and reflects many of the power struggles within the Nazi state. Fox contends that the conflict between the Wilhelmstrasse and the Nazi regime, which ended in the alliance with Japan sought by Hitler and von Ribbentrop, represented a triumph of Nazi ideology in controlling the course of German diplomacy.
