The book examines the central roles played by Hitler and Chamberlain in the events which led to the outbreak of the Second World War. It focuses on Anglo-German relations from 1918 to 1939, with particular attention paid to the key events from 1937 to 1939, when Hitler pursued an aggressive foreign policy, while Chamberlain strove to satisfy the 'legitimate' demands made by Hitler in the hope this would prevent war. The book includes an analysis of the changing nature of the debate on the roles of Hitler and Chamberlain in the origins of the Second World War. Hitler, Chamberlain and Appeasement is illustrated and includes primary sources.
