Appeasement - the cornerstone of Britain's foreign policy in the decade leading up to World War II - was widely praised in its own time for avoiding the catastrophe of war, but since 1939 has been almost universally condemned. This book seeks to understand the reasons for these contrasting assessments. Keith Robbins examines appeasement both in the context of Britain's domestic politics, and her international commitments, within Europe and beyond.
