Insight Guides Munich

"On 30 September 1938 the British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, flew back to London, from his meeting at Munich with the German Chancellor, Adolf Hitler. As he paused on the aircraft steps, he held aloft the piece of paper which bore both his and the Fuhrer's signature, and which contained the promise that Britain and Germany would never go to war with one another again. That evening, from an upstairs window at 10 Downing Street, he told the ecstatic and thankful crowd that he had returned bringing 'Peace with honour - Peace for our time.'" "In this reappraisal of the events of seventy years ago, David Faber traces the key incidents leading up to the meeting at Munich, and its immediate aftermath. Drawing on a wealth of original archival material, Faber brings alive the events of 1938 and sheds new light on this extraordinary story. Full of narrative drive and vivid characters, Munich transports us around the capitals of Europe and is a piece of modern history writing at its best."--BOOK JACKET.Insight Guides Munich, with ISBN 9780395662908 and ISBN 0395662907.
