Why England Slept
Book • 1940
Written as his senior thesis at Harvard College, 'Why England Slept' by John F. Kennedy examines the miscalculations of the British leadership in the face of the rising German threat before World War II. The book explores why England was poorly prepared for the war and discusses the challenges democracies face when confronted by fascist states.
It also considers whether earlier confrontation with Nazi Germany would have been more disastrous for Britain than the delay caused by appeasement policies.
