In the early autumn of 1940 stricken with incurable cancer Neville Chamberlain reflected upon the likely judgement of history upon his career. ' Few men' he concluded 'can have known such a tremendous reverse of fortune in so short a time.' A little over two years before following his dramatic flights to visit Hitler Chamberlain had been lauded as the man who saved the world from the very brink of war. But the outbreak of that war in September 1939 the collapse of his own government in May 1940 & the military perils that soon followed set in motion a process that would leave him the most reviled discredited Prime Minister of the twentieth century the leading exponent of a disastrous & humiliating foreign policy & the most culpable of the ' Guilty Men'. Despite a mass of revisionist history over the last 30 years the popular reputation of Neville Chamberlain remains that of a man taken in by Hitler a man who really believed that he had won 'peace for our time'. Yet whatever the ultimate verdict on the policy of appeasement Chamberlain's reputation deserves to be based on his career as a whole. Despite an enduring image as a right-wing Conservative his most constructive work was carried out in the field of social reform. He was also seen at the time as a successful Chancellor of the Exchequer who steered Britain out of the worst effects of the Depression & a formidable party political manager. David Dutton traces the evolution of Chamberlain's reputation among contemporaries & those who have lived since in the popular mind & in the changing evaluation of academic history & gives his own appraisal of one of the most conspicuous political careers of the twentieth century. ...

In this controversial re-evaluation of Neville Chamberlain & appeasement Frank Mc Donough draws on a fascinating range of primary & secondary sources to make his case. He argues that Chamberlain believed a Second World War would be disastrous for Britain & focussed all his energies to avoid it. In doing so he used & abused the 'mood of his age' which favoured a collective international drive o preserve peace & not nationally self-interested policy which Chamberlain followed. It was Hitler's entry into Prague in March 1939 which exposed appeasement as a fantasy & forced Chamberlain under pressure from national opinion to make a half-hearted & muddled attempt to stand up to the dictator. It was a task to which Chamberlain's flawed political judgement was even more ill-suited & which ultimately led to the outbreak of war in September 1939. The book differs from other studies of the subject by setting Chamberlain's actions within a wider chronological framework & by taking a fresh look at the underlying influences on the policy of appeasement within British society. ...

Considered among the greatest goalkeepers of all time & one of English football's defining figures over a career that spanned more than two decades Neville Southall has for the first time decided to tell his extraordinary life story. For more than sixteen years Southall kept goal for Everton & Wales becoming his club & country's greatest servant as well as Everton's most decorated player. Uncompromising unorthodox & often unkempt Southall's career followed an incredible trajectory: from football-mad binman to the greatest goalkeeper in the world in the space of a few years. Now he lifts the lid on a career that saw him win virtually every major honour offering a window not just on Everton's glory years & the rapidly changing landscape of British football but also the latest chapter of his life
- working with disadvantaged youths. It is also a story of a time before the game was all about money; when a young player's love of the game & ceaseless commitment to excellence could see him rise to the very summit of world football. A reflective man with trenchant views on the direction of the modern game Southall's amazing story is the ultimate antidote to the dull stereotype of the modern footballer.
