More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
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.

Format:Paperback
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.

Good Quick Read for WWII Buffs
15 Feb 2005
Format:Paperback
I read this book as part of a class on Britain in the Second World War. It does a great job of describing arguements both in favor of and against the policy of appeasement. It is concise, to the point, and easy to understand. There are probably other books that get more in depth, and at times the description was lacking. But if you are looking for a basic introduction to the political situation in the late 1930's that led up to World War II then this is a great book.

Concise and well written
17 April 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A very quick read, but packed with information based on primary sources. A balanced view of Chamberlain. This is a good book for advanced high school students or college students. The study questions make this useful to someone who wants to learn about appeasement but is not studying the topic as part of a class.
