Appeasing Hitler: Chamberlain, Churchill and the road to war |
A brilliant debut by a young historian, this is a compelling account of the disastrous years of indecision and failed diplomacy that allowed the Nazis to dominate Europe. The thirties have been covered extensively elsewhere but never in such forensic detail and with such contemporary resonance. Countless times it felt as though he was talking about the baleful behaviour of today's politicians. There's a lesson for all of us. It didn't end well.
