However, the least understood and explored aspect of these debates has been the subject of public opinion. This volume addresses the vital phenomenon of elite and intellectual opinion. This unique All Souls 'think-tank' deliberated for almost two years to frame an alternative foreign policy for a country facing the menace of a worldwide threat, stretching from Germany to Italy to Japan. The group represented a wide-ranging selection of the finest individuals of the time with an unmatched wealth and breadth of public and private service. The volume analyses the deliberations of this think-tank as it struggled to frame a consensus for a foreign policy document intended to guide public and government debate, and avoid another world war.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction: Appeasement and All Souls College\u003cbr\u003e 'A Transitional Policy', December 1937 - February 1938\u003cbr\u003e 'Foreign Policy Now', March 1938\u003cbr\u003e 'A Peace Policy for the Immediate Present', April - May 1938\u003cbr\u003e 'Hours and Hours of Talk', June 1938 - March 1939\u003cbr\u003e 'Between Resistance and Retreat'\u003cbr\u003e Appendix: Participants in the All Souls Discussions\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Social \u0026amp; cultural history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Social \u0026amp; cultural history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Social%20\u0026amp;%20cultural%20history%20%5BHBTB%5D%22\"\u003eHBTB\u003c\/a\u003e], 20th century history: c 1900  to c 2000 [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on 20th century history: c 1900  to c 2000\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%2220th%20century%20history:%20c%201900%20%20to%20c%202000%20%5BHBLW%5D%22\"\u003eHBLW\u003c\/a\u003e], British \u0026amp; Irish history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on British \u0026amp; Irish history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22British%20\u0026amp;%20Irish%20history%20%5BHBJD1%5D%22\"\u003eHBJD1\u003c\/a\u003e], Prose: non-fiction [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Prose: non-fiction\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Prose:%20non-fiction%20%5BDN%5D%22\"\u003eDN\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45912987402520,"sku":"9780521843744","price":46.87,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521843744i_e68ba819-52af-465f-bc19-268b0392d537.jpg?v=1691368742","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/appeasement-and-all-souls-a-portrait-with-documents-1937-1939-hardback-9780521843744","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
