In British Politics and Foreign Policy in the Age of Appeasement, 1935-39, historian R. J. Q. Adams examines the policy of appeasement -- so frequently praised as realistic and statesmanlike in its day and commonly condemned as wrong-headed and even wicked in ours. In this exciting and thoroughly accessible work, he explains the motivations and goals of the principal policy-makers: Neville Chamberlain, Lord Halifax, Sir John Simon and Sir Samuel Hoare, and of their major critics: Winston Churchill, Anthony Eden, Duff Cooper and Sir Robert Vansittart. He discloses the myths which obscure our understanding of the Stresa Front, British rearmament, the Anglo-French alliance and the highest moment of appeasement -- Munich.
