Chamberlain, Germany and Japan, 1933-4 (eBook, PDF)

Redefining British Strategy in an Era of Imperial Decline

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the role of Chamberlain and the National Government in responding to the strategic problems created by the emergence of a two-front danger from Germany and Japan. It focuses on the first defence requirements enquiry of 1933-4, when rearmament foundations were laid and foreign policy redefined. It explores the inter-relationship between the different departments of state, and between individuals, in the formulation of policy at a time of crisis, and sheds light on the debate about appeasement.
