Churchill and Appeasement

"R. A. C. Parker argues that, had Churchill controlled British foreign policy in the 1930s, he would have made a 'Grand Alliance', grouping other European countries around a firm Anglo-French alliance. Pledging defence against German armed attacks, this alliance might have stopped Hitler, or given moderate Germans the impetus they needed to stop him. Churchill could, Parker suggests, have persuaded Stalin that Britain and France were safer collaborators than Nazi Germany." "Parker examines what Churchill actually tried to do in the 1930s. In so doing, he seeks to establish how Churchill's views differed from the 'appeasement' policy practised by successive British governments and how and why his ideas were consistently rejected and how and why he was, equally consistently, kept out of office."--BOOK JACKET.
