Description

In June 1938, Future British Prime Minister Winston Churchill published a book entitled “Arms and the Covenant”. It used to be then published in the USA in September 1938 as “Even as England Slept; a Survey of World Affairs, 1932-1938”. It highlighted the United Kingdom’s lack of military preparation. At that time the war used to be looming but had not started yet. The majority in England wanted to stay out of the war and to rely in England’s natural barriers. On the other hand, the views of Churchill in the long run prevailed and it used to be largely on the strength on this book that Churchill used to be elected Prime Minister. In 1940, future President John F. Kennedy, then a student in his senior year at Harvard University, found he did not accept as true with the analysis by Churchill of the reasons for the war, so he wrote a book with almost the same title. Kennedy wrote this essentially as a critique and a rebuttal. In it, he in he examined the reasons for the UK’s lack of preparation. Why England Slept by John F. Kennedy used to be first published in 1940 and went through at least five reprintings. It has turn into a rare book, virtually unimaginable to get, as a result of the fame of the writer, until this reprinting by Ishi Press.
