This book explores Lord Runciman's mediation in Central Europe, which provides a sharp insight into British policy on the eve of World War II. Without clear objectives--other than to avoid war--his mission did little more than pressure Czechoslovakia for concessions. Runciman was manipulated into that position by Sudeten German separatists and also by those in Britain who sought to secure a rapprochement with Germany. The Mission's pursuit of that objective led directly to Chamberlain's fateful flying visits to Hitler.
