In the end, these grim years brought only economic depression and the challenge posed by the fascist dictatorships in Germany and Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eBritish Politics and Foreign Policy in the Age of Appeasement, 1935-39\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"R. J.
