Appeasement in Crisis

"At Munich in September 1938, Britain and France had undertaken to arrange an international guarantee for what was left of Gzechoslovakia. In the meantime, the British Government would feel morally obliged to act as though the guarantee were already in force. The worthlessness of this moral guarantee was exposed six months later when Germany organised the break-up of Czechoslovakia. Yet fifteen days after that Britain went on to guarantee Poland, pending a negotiated treaty. This too, failed to prevent the conquest and partition of Poland six months later. Why had Chamberlain's Cabinet believed this second guarantee would be any more effective than the first? Appeasement in Crisis shows that the answer to this question lies in the recorded exchanges among a small group of ministers, officials and service chiefs between October 1938 and March 1939"--Jacket.
