Opis

British appeasement was a controversial policy in the 1930s, and has remained so during the more than 50 years since the problems the policy were to solve exploded into World War II. "A Climate For Appeasement" delves into one of the primary reasons the appeasers used to justify their policy, one often accepted to some degree by historians since that time: the existence of an anti-war climate of opinion held by many members of the British public. Did such a climate exist? If so, why did it, and how was it used by the appeasers? Those are the questions posed, and answered in this work.
