Contents:

Towards a substantive commitment, April 1935-August 1936 -- Industrial mobilization for rearmament -- The financing of defence -- The rationing of the services -- The Anschluss and the Czech crisis: the acid test of rationing and appeasement -- From Munich to war: the unraveling.

Subject: Here is a comprehensive analysis of rearmament under the Baldwin and Chamberlain governments. It reveals the primary determinants of events and provides important new information regarding the principal considerations underlying Chamberlain's policy of appeasement. The author concentrates on a problem that was of central concern to the government. For this reason, and because he draws on the recently opened Cabinet and Treasury papers at the Public Record Office in London, he is able to offer a broader view than that of the existing studies. He describes in detail the interaction of the Cabinet, Treasury, and Armed Services, and the influence of the financial and industrial communities.
