Appeasing Hitler: The Diplomacy of Sir Nevile Henderson, 1937-39 by P. Neville (

Description: Appeasing Hitler by P. Neville The origins of the Second World War remain clouded in Churchillian mythology. Sixty years on, Peter Nevilles book provides an essential reassessment of the appeasement myths by examining a central yet understudied figure, Sir Nevile Henderson. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This study provides an reassessment of the appeasement myths about Hitler by examining a central yet understudied figure. The British Ambassador of the period, Sir Nevile Henderson has been described as "our Nazi Ambassador in Berlin" by historians and popular memory alike. This reassessment draws upon primary documents to challenge orthodox interpretations. While Hendersons analysis of the Nazi regime was seriously flawed, the author argues that history has vastly overstated his influence.
