The Chamberlain Cabinet

About this book

"In 1967, the British Parliament reduced from fifty to thirty years the period after which the bulk of British official and State papers, including the Cabinet Papers, could be opened to public scrutiny. Ian Colvin was among the first to gain access to these newly available documents and in The Chamberlain Cabinet he provides an often startling but always fascinating analysis of the Chamberlain Cabinet's handling of foreign affairs during the crucial years 1937-1939, the years leading into the Second World War." --from inside jacket flap.
