Description

Brussels hosts the peace that fails in Volume IV. The League phase at Geneva comes first. Preparations for the conference fill chapter two. The meeting itself sits in November. Nine powers talk; Japan stays away. Guarding Americans then fills the longest run. River and coast fighting menaces shipping next. Chinese planes bomb the liner President Hoover by error. The gunboat Panay sinks on December 12. That file carries protests and Japan's regrets.

Arms for China raise policy questions in files. Americans flying for China trouble the lawyers. Reconstruction and relief close the contents. A mid-volume wire shows the Panay answer's drafting. Hull wires London as Tokyo gets the note that night. Copies move between allies within hours. The volume is crisis diplomacy at full stretch.
