The Antagonists Who Saved Democracy

Antagonists Who Saved Democracy supplements, No Peace With Hitler: Why Churchill Chose to Fight World War II Alone Rather than Negotiate with Germany, which focused on Churchill and the factors, both tangible and psychological, that caused him to oppose seeking peace terms from Hitler in May 1940 when the Nazis had conquered all of Western Europe, Britain had no allies and some thought that resistance was futile, if not suicidal.

Among other things, this book analyses both Winston Churchill and Neville Chamberlain and more particularly:
(1) The similarities and differences in their backgrounds, personalities, psychological make ups, and character.
(2) why Churchill and Chamberlain, two of the greatest social reformers in British history, became such intense adversaries in 1938,
(3) what drove Chamberlain to appeasement and assenting to the terms of the Munich Agreement rather than standing up to Hitler,
(4) how Munich and other events such as the coercion of Czechoslovakia, the Polish Guarantee, and the attempt to form a Grand Alliance affected the pre-war relationship of the two,
(5) the surprising loyalty that came to exist between Chamberlain and Churchill during the eight-plus months that Churchill served in the Chamberlain War Cabinet after Hitler invaded Poland and
(6) how and why, in the British War Cabinet debate of May 25–28, 1940, Chamberlain stood with Prime Minister Churchill in opposition to seeking peace terms from Hitler.
