Apaciguar a Hitler: Chamberlain, Churchill Y El Camino a la Guerra / Appeasement Chamberlain, Hitler, Churchill, and the Road to War

On September 30, 1938, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, fresh from Munich, announced that his meeting with Hitler had averted the greatest crisis of contemporary times and that "peace for our age" was assured. Less than a year later, Germany invaded Poland and World War II broke out. Appeasing Hitler is the brilliant account of the disastrous period of political inaction that allowed the consolidation of the Nazi regime. Narrated in a fast-paced way and full of memorable scenes, this book is the result of a deep and exhaustive investigation, offers a disturbing and disturbing portrait of the ministers, aristocrats and amateur diplomats at the helm and reveals the marketing and vulgar interests, the falsehoods and post-truths, which made possible the rise of Nazism and ended up causing the Second World War. From the beginning of the Third Reich, with the coming to power of Hitler in 1933, to the beaches of Dunkirk, Tim Bouverie not only narrates a major historical moment, but also a timeless lesson about the difficulties of rising up against aggressiveness and authoritarianism. and the calamities that result from not doing so.
