Reviews
Hughes has made a major contribution to understanding British foreign policy in the post-war era ... [A] highly original work that will reward study by anyone interested in the history of international relations. -- George C. Peden, University of Stirling * Intelligence and National Security *
Gerald Hughes' first-rate book deserves to be read and digested not only by historians and international relations specialists, but also by politicians, their speech writers and their diplomats. -- Christopher Waters, Deakin University * Australian Journal of Politics and History *
Hughes has produced a readable account of the uses and abuses of the appeasement analogy, reminding us of the dangers of history turning into a political battleground on which the decisions for the future are made. -- Helene von Bismarck, Independent Scholar * American Historical Review *
[Hughes] presents the argument in a manner likely to retain the interest of the reader whilst resisting the temptations towards over simplification. It is a highly interesting book that would be of interest to scholars and students alike. -- Andrew Crines * The Historian *
