She argues that reluctance to decisively confront Germany and the Soviet Union as they grew stronger during the interwar years, combined with an ill-advised disarmament process and ethnic instabilities, contributed to the inevitability of war. This is a revised edition of a work first published in 1976, but Marks does not explicitly note what changes were made.
