Guilty men
Book • 1940
Written in 1940, 'Guilty Men' is a scathing indictment of the British government's policy of appeasement towards Nazi Germany.
The book, authored by Michael Foot, Frank Owen, and Peter Howard under the pseudonym 'Cato', targets 15 public figures, including former Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, for their roles in the policy that led to significant unpreparedness for war.
The authors criticize the government's failures, particularly at Dunkirk, and the lack of investment in armaments and food supply.
Despite initial resistance from major booksellers, the book became highly influential and contributed to the lasting damage to Chamberlain's reputation.
