British appeasement was a controversial policy in the 1930s and has remained so during the
more than 50 years since the problems the policy were to solve exploded into World War II. A
Climate For Appeasement delves into one of the primary reasons the appeasers used to justify
their policy one often accepted to some degree by historians since that time: the existence of
an anti-war climate of opinion held by many members of the British public. Did such a climate
exist? If so why did it and how was it used by the appeasers? Those are the questions posed
and answered in this work.
