Britain, as the most powerful of the European victors of World War
One, had a unique responsibility to maintain the peace in the
aftermath of the Treaty of Versailles. The outbreak of a second,
even more catastrophic war in 1939 has therefore always raised
painful questions about Britain's failure to deal with Nazism.
Could some other course of action have destroyed Hitler when he was
still weak? In this highly disturbing new book, Ian Kershaw
examines this crucial issue. He concentrates on the figure of Lord
Londonderry grandee, patriot, cousin of Churchill and the
government minister responsible for the RAF at a crucial point in
its existence. Londonderry's reaction to the rise of Hitler - to
pursue friendship with the Nazis at all costs - raises fundamental
questions about Britain's role in the 1930s and whether in practice
there was ever any possibility of preventing Hitler's leading
Europe once again into war.
