Description
The Impact of Hitler: British Politics and British Policy 1933-1940 by Maurice Cowling This book examines the complex relationship between British party politics and the conduct of British foreign policy during a critical period in European history. Cowling explores how the strategic and financial limitations of the time influenced decision-making, and how parliamentary criticism shaped the policy of the government. From 1933 to 1940, the British government navigated a delicate balance between domestic politics and international relations. Cowling argues that the connection between these two areas was increasingly intimate, with foreign policy and the party system becoming inextricably linked. This book provides a nuanced analysis of the key events and decisions that defined British policy during this period. By examining the interplay between politics and policy, Cowling sheds new light on a pivotal moment in British history.
