The seventh Marquess of Londonderry (1878-1949) held government
posts in Dublin, Belfast and London. Controversial in his own
lifetime, he oversaw the early years of both the Royal Air Force
and Northern Ireland, and he was attacked as a 'warmonger' for his
role at the World Disarmament Conference held at Geneva in the
early 1930s. Londonderry's subsequent venture into amateur
diplomacy cemented his reputation as an arch appeaser of Nazi
Germany. He corresponded throughout with important national and
international figures and others of significance, including Winston
Churchill, Neville Chamberlain, Ramsay MacDonald, Stanley Baldwin,
and Lord Halifax. In the late 1930s his regular correspondents also
included Hermann Goering, Joachim von Ribbentrop, and Franz von
Papen. This volume provides a vivid insight into the outlook and
actions of an unapologetic aristocrat-politician, his colleagues in
government, and the efforts of his German correspondents to inform
and shape British opinion on the Nazi regime.
