Austen Chamberlain and the Commitment to Europe - British Foreign Policy 1924-1929 (Paperback)

This is a study of Austen Chamberlain's term of office as Stanley Baldwin's Foreign Secretary from 1924-29. It is argued that Chamberlain's priority was a two-stage policy in Western Europe, which aimed at pacifying both France and Germany, as well as encouraging the League of Nations. Other key chapters deal with British policy in the Middle East and China and policy towards America. Overall, Chamberlain is shown to have committed Britain to a European diplomatic role, whcih was opposed by Cabinet ministers who did not see a European interest to all aspects of British foreign policy. At the turn of the millennium, in the Conservative Party, this debate is still unresolved.
