This work relates the policy of appeasement to the personal beliefs
and decisions of those responsible for foreign policy. Using Robert
Hadow, First Secretary in the Foreign Office, as an example of an
appeaser, this approach aims to demonstrate how intelligent and
capable men in Britain fell victim to a policy which, to many
still, in retrospect, appears blind and irrational. An examination
of Hadow's fear of war, his reaction to communism, his sympathy for
the German minority in Czechoslovakia, and his actions inside and
outside the Foreign Office in pursuit of appeasement is made in
this book through detailed research of Hadow's public and private
papers. By following the course of Hadow's career and the working
of his mind in the 1930s, this study explains the thinking behind a
policy associated with Britain on the eve of World War II.
