Transition of Power : Britain's Loss of Global Pre-eminence to the United States, 1930-1945.

This book shows how Britain was replaced as the only truly global power by the USA, crucially in the years 1930-1945, a period marked by the crisis of the Great Depression, the rise of Nazi Germany, fascist Italy, and militaristic Japan as threats, and by the Second World War.
