The Chamberlain-Hitler Deal
by Clement Leibovitz clem@seymour.ucs.ualberta.ca
(with a foreword by Tony Benn)

.It is by far the best book yet published about the causes and origins of 
the second world war.
.. Dr. Leibovitz has therefore, in this book, done more than lay bare the 
evidence which helps us understand the past and has actually written a text 
that helps us to understand the present and the future
.America and Britain may still have to pay a further price for the policies 
agreed at Munich.. But at least we have the benefit of this supreme work of 
scholarship to help us see that it does not happen again

This is a courageous and uncompromising study of the secret diplomacy leading 
to the second World War. That Neville Chamberlain offered German Chancellor 
Adolf Hitler a "free hand" in Central and Eastern Europe has been asserted by 
others, but no-one has documented the argument with the skill and tenacity of 
Clement Leibovitz. Dr. Leibovitz is brilliant in the dissection of diplomatic 
records -- in capturing the deliberate ambiguities, the necessary omissions, 
the apparently -- but not really -- trivial nuances. Establishment historians 
who think the origins of the war have been settled are going to be upset by 
Dr. Leibovitz. But can they refute his work?
