The Munich Crisis, Politics and the People - (Cultural History of Modern War) by Julie Gottlieb & Daniel Hucker & Richard Toye (Hardcover)

This book provides a comprehensive reassessment of the Munich Crisis of 1938 from various perspectives, including those of politicians, people, and public opinion.

It sheds light on the profound social, cultural, and psychological effects of the crisis and offers a corrective to the longstanding tendency to marginalize the 'public', 'people', 'material', and 'popular' within scholarship.

The book provides valuable insights into the dominant feelings of relief, deliverance, and gratitude in Britain and France after the signing of the Four Power Agreement at Munich, while also exploring the shame and guilt felt by those who betrayed worthy allies.

This is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of this pivotal moment in history.
