A major new account of appeasement and the question of whether the Second World War could have been prevented. G. C. Peden provides a comparative analysis of Chamberlain and Churchill's view on foreign policy, how best to deter Germany and explores what deterrence and appeasement meant in the context of the 1930s.

This book presents a new way of looking at twentieth-century military history and Britain's decline as a great power. G. C. Peden explores how from the Edwardian era to the 1960s warfare was transformed by a series of innovations, including dreadnoughts, submarines, aircraft, tanks, radar, nuclear weapons and guided missiles.
