Chamberlain and the lost peace
Book • 1989
In 'Chamberlain and the Lost Peace', John Charmley presents a revisionist view of Neville Chamberlain's policy of appeasement towards Hitler.
Charmley argues that Chamberlain's actions were not naive or weak but rather a thoughtful attempt to avoid war and protect Britain's interests, foreseeing the long-term damage war would cause.
The book challenges the traditional narrative by highlighting Chamberlain's strategic thinking and the limitations of Britain's military capabilities at the time.
