Title: Good Overview of Decisions Made by Britian in 1930s
Product review: Mr. Levy generally does a good job explaining the reasonings made by Britian during the 1930s in their dealings with Hitler. He stresses a point in the earlier chapters that is something often overlooked by people - you can't read backwards into history! If even the Nazis did not know at that time the Holocaust was going to happen the way it did, how was Neville Chamberlain supposed to know? Mind you, Chamberlain made his mistakes. However, say what you will about his appeasement strategy, he did not neglect rearmament.I gave the book only four stars because the author's writing style is a bit rushed. He and his editor(s) would have done well to include appropriate headings within each chapter as he was beginning to write on a new subject. Most decent works of history and non-fiction do this, as it makes it much easier for the reader to maintain his/her comprehension of the subject matter.
