For Want of a Nail: The Failure of the League of Nations in Ethiopia is a historical account written by Hugh Robert Wilson Jr. The book examines the events leading up to the Italian invasion of Ethiopia in 1935 and the subsequent failure of the League of Nations to prevent the aggression. Wilson Jr. argues that the League of Nations, which was established in 1920 to prevent war and promote peace, failed to live up to its purpose due to the lack of cooperation and commitment from its member states. The author also highlights the role of international politics, economic interests, and racial prejudices in shaping the League's response to the crisis in Ethiopia. The book provides a detailed analysis of the League's diplomatic efforts, the debates and negotiations among member states, and the military campaign that led to the fall of Ethiopia. For Want of a Nail is a well-researched and insightful account of a critical moment in world history, shedding light on the limitations of international organizations and the challenges of maintaining peace in a globalized world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
