14. APPEASING HITLER: CHAMBERLAIN, CHURCHILL AND THE ROAD TO WAR

He declared it was ‘peace for our time’, but within a year Britain was at war with Germany. Tim Bouverie gives a compelling reappraisal of the immense drama of those disastrous years of indecision, failed diplomacy and parliamentary infighting that enabled Nazi domination of Europe.
