The Age of Appeasement: Hitler, Chamberlain, Churchill and the Road to War
About This Novel
After World War I, avoiding new conflicts was perhaps the most common desire across Europe. The slogan "Don't repeat the same mistakes!" Echoed in the ears of Europeans for a long time. This view will also affect the future of Europe and become the core of the appeasement policy implemented by the British. Tim Buffry sets the period narrated in this book as from 1933, when Hitler came to power, to before World War II. By reconstructing Britain's negotiations to "appease Hitler" one after another, he shows how British politics changed when the Nazis carried out territorial expansion and other activities in Europe. The government's indecision, diplomatic failure and parliamentary strife explore the development and impact of Britain's appeasement policy from a new perspective, showing that the final outcome to war was not the blind choice of a few people, but the result of multi-faceted interactions with the characteristics of the times. Regarding Britain at that time, this book conducted in-depth archival research, including some never-before-used materials, and gave a detailed description of the activities of British ministers, nobles and amateur diplomats during this period. It tells how through their actions and inactions, they determined Britain's choices and affected the destiny of Europe, and how they led to war step by step.
