Introducing *The Spectre of War*, an essential read for anyone intrigued by the complex origins of the Second World War. This compelling book by Jonathan Haslam delves deep into the historical narrative, challenging conventional views that attribute the conflict primarily to diplomatic failures or military power. Instead, Haslam threads a revealing connection to the pervasive fear of Communism that gripped nations during the tumultuous interwar period. By leveraging a wealth of archival resources, including significant records from the Communist International, Haslam brilliantly reconstructs the deep-seated origins and interwoven ideologies that birthed World War II.With an extensive exploration of Europe and Northeast Asia during the 1920s and 1930s, *The Spectre of War* elucidates how the aftermath of the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution and its impact on global politics ignited widespread social and economic instability. As Communist movements surged in places like France and Spain, traditional powers, particularly the British, viewed the rise of fascism as a bulwark against the feared Communist overthrow. This book not only dissects the political calculations leading to the war but also illuminates the ideological battles that fueled decades of unrest. If you're seeking a nuanced understanding of World War II's roots and its far-reaching legacy, *The Spectre of War* is your definitive guide to this pivotal moment in history.

Quality shoe but with a slight squeak.
Size: 10 Wide, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
Nice shoes with the classic Penny Loafer design. Fit was better than another brand I tried. Only reason not 5 starts is disappointment due to a slight squeak at times when walking.

Exact item ordered, quick delivery
Size: 9.5, Color: Black Polished Full Grain
I ordered these black Cole Haan penny loafers for casual wear with jeans, khakies, and even business casual with slacks and a jacket. They've always worked perfectly for these uses. The Cole Haan version is the most versatile and still meets my sophisticated look criteria. I wear a 9 1/2 M with almost all other shoes. I have found Cole Haan to run slightly wider and slightly shorter. This fit will work with thin and no socks and a little loose in width. . I'd likely order a 10 N next time. I tend to forget this but it runs consistent with me for Cole Haan. 5 stars for the shoe and service. My bad on the slightly off fit.

Poor quality control - maybe outlet store leftovers
Size: 11.5, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
The two shoes were not the same size. They were both labeled 11 1/2 but one shoe was larger than the other and the fit was poor. I returned the first pair and ordered a replacement. This time the shoes were close to the same size but too loose and the left one has sewing issues. I've bought Johnston & Murphy for years because of the quality. These were to replace an existing pair of burgundy penny loafers that have finally worn out (even after several heal/sole replacements). That is the expected quality. I suspect Nashville Shoe Warehouse may be handling shoes that didn't measure up for the quality; more like an outlet mall than getting the J&M quality I've come to expect.
Update: went to Johnston & Murphy site to buy "direct" from the manufacturer. There were several recent reviews where the shoes were long and didn't fit properly. Genesco - please step up the manufacture / crafting of these classic shoes to the level of quality they used to have.

Really nice shoes
Size: 9, Color: Black Polished Full Grain
My husband enjoys wearing these shoes. Very classy looking. They fit well. They arrived quickly. He liked them so much he ordered another pair in a different color which have worked out just as well.

Way too narrow
Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
I ordered a wide in this shoe, but it was still way too narrow. I had to return them. Otherwise, it looked like a nice quality shoe.
