Appeasement

Chamberlain, Hitler, Churchill, and the Road to War

Tim Bouverie

A groundbreaking history of the disastrous appeasement policies that allowed Hitler's domination of Europe. This unforgettable portrait of the ministers, dukes, and debutantes who shaped Britain's policy takes readers inside the halls of power during the tenure of Neville Chamberlain, the beloved PM determined to avert war at any cost. Drawing on deep archival research, the book highlights an unusual coalition of liberals and conservatives who realized the only real choice was "war now or war later." Appeasement is not only eye-opening history but a timeless lesson in the challenges of standing against authoritarianism--and the calamity that results from failing.
