Elizabeth’s Reviews > Appeasement: Chamberlain, Hitler, Churchill, and the Road to War > Status Update

Whew, the end of ch 17 is FASCINATING!! The historical context around the Munich Agreement and its effects is intensely complex and the author explores that brilliantly in the final five pages of the chapter. This line at the end: “Hitler declared, ‘Our enemies are small worms. I saw them in Munich.’ It was a miscalculation the consequences of which would be felt across the entire world” (296).

Page 234 is really interesting about what possibly could have been done to deter Hitler from war. It seems so inevitable in hindsight but was it? Curious to consider without ever being able to answer the question.
