Thanks for Uploading.

Chamberlain’s attempt in retrospect was the only personal interaction between two opposing leaders. Simply an amazing, although not nearly successful appeasement, meeting. Perhaps we should learn from this event for future avoidances of war. The consensus seems to be that these meetings were valiant and brave attempts. Thank you for this very insightful post 👍

Reading Munich now...An amazing read..

Best writer alive

A contemporary harris novel with extremly high suspense factor is 'fear'. It comes across as a modern version of kubrick's 'hal' (2001) and here the computer's action are set in the world of finance. Ignatius has written 'body of lies/the man who never was'. Of which ridley scott made one of his best films. Book and film are both extremly well done.

I appreciate Harris' work but he has not made & cannot make an effective rehabilitation of Chamberlain. Munich was the disaster that it is commonly believed to have been. Chamberlain subverted rearmament, lied about the growing German forces & the woefully inadequate state of British preparedness. grudgingly, Chamberlain did as much as Churchill could force him to do to prepare for war. in the end, Chamberlain realized that he had allowed himself to be misled & he, in turn, misled the British parliament & people.

The munic agreement was one of the main reasons that the allies came out victories. It allowed them to arm their forces and ready for war with hitler that had hitler just started the war in 38 would have been much more troublesome for the allies. This gave them time to mobilize by giving hitler little treats to keep him at bay

Absolute tripe - Production of Spitfires and other armaments did not increase much after Munich

[@CheloPerales]

@@StephenEdwards-xo3zz A neophyte here. I had to type "tripe" to make sure it was not a typo for "truth". TRIPE: INFORMAL nonsense; rubbish. "you do talk tripe sometimes". Says the dictionary. I also had to Google "Spitfires". Actually, I am about to watch The Ghostwriter.

Harris refers to the difficult situation in which Chamberlain "found himself" in 38, ie, with Britain unprepared for war. that was the situation in 38. BUT, before Churchill's speech, "Air Parity Lost," on May 2, 1935, the problem was clear. nevertheless, Baldwin &, after him, Chamberlain, vilified & resisted Churchill and his calls for rearmament.
