ABSTRACT
These two essays – Part 1: The German Appeasers and Part 2: The Triumph of Hitler – were published in reviews of Documents on German Foreign Policy 1918-1945, Series D (1937-45), Vol. 2: Germany and Czechoslovakia 1937-1938 (Washington, Government Printing Office, 1949), in the Manchester Guardian, 15 and 16 December 1949.
Alan Taylor also reviewed the British publication of the volume in the New Statesman and Nation, 39, 997 (15 April 1950), in the course of which he observed that the old-style diplomats 'meant to establish Germany as the dominant power of Europe; and they would have done it except for Hitler's pursuit of theatrical violence. We should therefore be very grateful that Hitler broke loose in 1938'.
