About the Book
Neville Chamberlain has gone down in history as the architect of appeasement, the Prime Minister who, by sacrificing Czechoslovakia at Munich in September 1938, put Britain on an inevitable path to war. Here, Chamberlain's letters have been accessed for the first time to tell the story of his life and work. They shed new light on his complex character and enable us to consider Chamberlain the man, not just the statesman. It is a reminder that there is often more to political figures, even Tory Prime Ministers, than many a quick judgment allows.
