An engaging range of period texts and theme books for AS and A Level history. This book examines the key roles played by Adolf Hitler and Neville Chamberlain in the events that led to the outbreak of the Second World War. It looks at Hitler's foreign-policy aims, why appeasement became British foreign policy and, most extensively, the role of Chamberlain and appeasement in the unfolding international crisis of the late 1930s. Using a wide range of primary sources, Frank McDonough offers a generally critical interpretation of Chamberlain and appeasement, and suggests that standing up to Hitler earlier may have prevented war. The book also features a detailed analysis of the historical debates surrounding the issue of appeasement.

for a level students studying this period of time this book is a god send! it covers all the major ideas and facts about hitler, chamberlain and the policy of appeasment. this book contains a excellent conclusion on hitler and his policies and neville chamberlains pursuit of appeasement. the section on post-war, revisonist and post-revisionist on appeasment is excellent for students studying appeasement as it fully analyses why people criticised the policy and why the men who purused the policy were seen as the'guilty men'. an excellent, really accessible book for this period of history

I purchased this book when I was studying History at A-Level, and alongside the other book's I purchased on Appeasement, this book is a great source of information.
Various sources, quotes, outlining the different Historical interpretation and also contains a few exam question's.
Overall, a fantasic little book that is very useful at A-Level, and even Degree Level.

This book is well written, readable and easily understood. It is a valuable resource for anyone studying the lead up to, and causes of, the second world war. Will also be valuable as a revision resource because of its useful layout.
