Apaciguar a Hitler

On September 30, 1938, the British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, just arrived 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. Rushingly narrated and packed with memorable scenes, this book is the result of in-depth and exhaustive research, offers a disturbing and unsettling portrait of the amateur ministers, aristocrats and diplomats at the helm, and unravels trade and vulgar interests, falsehoods and post-truth , which made possible the rise of Nazism and ended up causing World War II. From the beginnings of the Third Reich, with the coming to power of Hitler in 1933, to the beaches of Dunkirk Tim Bouverie not only narrates a historical moment of great importance but also a timeless lesson about the difficulties of standing up against aggressiveness and authoritarianism and the calamities that result from not doing so.
