The Munich Pact, signed by Britain, France, Germany, and Italy on September 30, 1938, agreed to the Nazi army's occupation of the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia without so much as a diplomatic word to that country's government. Six months later, the German army crossed the recently truncated frontier, and Czechoslovakia ceased to exist as an independent state. British and French guarantees of Polish independence quickly followed but came too late to prevent the Nazi attack on Poland on September 1, 1939. Great Britain was obliged to declare war, and the Second World War had begun. Up to now, scholars' treatment of the Munich Pact focused on British policy--either moralistically criticizing the ill-advised diplomacy of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain or reassessing the British role in view of the limitations imposed by a fragile economy. Reappraising the Munich Pact brings the other players back onto the stage by examining German, French, and Soviet policies before, during, and after the pact. The authors also trace the evolution of the pact's postwar historiography in Czechoslovakia and Poland. The Munich Pact has become an international metaphor, both used and abused, for failed Western agreements with dictatorial regimes. Reappraising the Munich Pact offers a close look at the complexity of this fateful moment in history after a half-century of historical analysis. The contributors are Gerhard Weinberg, John Dreifort, and Michael Kraus on the German, French, and Soviet perspectives, and Joseph Zacek and Anna Cienciala on the Czechoslovak and Polish points of view.

On September 30, 1938, the leaders of Britain, France, Germany, and Italy signed an agreement detailing the procedure by which territory would be transferred from Czechoslovakia to Germany. Known as the Munich Agreement, that document is remembered not for the changes that it effected (they were not lasting), but for the swiftness with which its terms were broken. On the morning of March 15, 1939, German forces occupied what remained of Czechoslovakia, thus negating Hitler's repeated assertions that he sought only justice for repressed German minorities within neighboring states. The Four Powers' negotiated solution failed to secure peace for Europe, and that failure has since come to encompass appeasement, the policy under whose auspices the agreement was pursued. In this essay, I reconsider the predominant historical narrative regarding Great Britain's actions in the 1930s. I then evaluate the uses to which the Munich analogy has been put to interpret the ongoing Ukrainian crisis.

By approaching an important foreign policy issue from a new angle, Jonathan Mercer comes to a startling, controversial discovery: a nation's reputation is not worth fighting for. He presents the most comprehensive examination to date of what defines a reputation, when it is likely to emerge in international politics, and with what consequences. Mercer examines reputation formation in a series of crises before World War I. He tests competing arguments, one from deterrence theory, the other from social psychology, to see which better predicts and explains how reputations form. Extending his findings to address recent crises such as the Gulf War, he also considers how culture, gender, and nuclear weapons affect reputation. Throughout history, wars have been fought in the name of reputation. Mercer rebuts this politically powerful argument, shows that reputations form differently than we thought, and offers policy advice to decision-makers.

The Munich crisis is everywhere acknowledged as the prelude to World War II. If Hitler had been stopped at Munich then World War II as we know it could not have happened. The subject has been thoroughly studied in British, French and German documents and consequently we know that the weakness in the Western position at Munich consisted in the Anglo-French opinion that the Soviet commitment to its allies - France and Czechoslovakia - was utterly unreliable. What has never been seriously studied in the Western literature is the whole spectrum of East European documentation. This book targets precisely this dimension of the problem. The Romanians were at one time prepared to admit the transfer of the Red Army across their territory. The Red Army, mobilised on a massive scale, was informed that its destination was Czechoslovakia. The Polish consul in Lodavia reported the entrance of the Red Army into the country. In the meantime, Moscow focused especially on the Polish rail network. All of these findings are new, and they contribute to a considerable shift in the conventional wisdom on the subject.

Most of the works on the crises of the 1930s and especially the Munich Agreement in 1938 were written when it was virtually impossible to gain access to the relevant archive collections on both sides of the Iron Curtain. This text studies the Czechoslovak-German crisis and its impact from previously neglected perspectives and celebrates the post-Cold War openness by bringing in new evidence from hitherto inaccessible archives.

In this magisterial narrative, Zara Steiner traces the twisted road to war that began with Hitler's assumption of power in Germany. Covering a wide geographical canvas, from America to the Far East, Steiner provides an indispensable reassessment of the most disputed events of these tumultuous years. Steiner underlines the far-reaching consequences of the Great Depression, which shifted the initiative in international affairs from those who upheld the status quo to those who were intent on destroying it. In Europe, the l930s were Hitler's years. He moved the major chess pieces on the board, forcing the others to respond. From the start, Steiner argues, he intended war, and he repeatedly gambled on Germany's future to acquire the necessary resources to fulfil his continental ambitions. Only war could have stopped him-an unwelcome message for most of Europe. Misperception, miscomprehension, and misjudgment on the part of the other Great Powers leaders opened the way for Hitler's repeated diplomatic successes. It is ideology that distinguished the Hitler era from previous struggles for the mastery of Europe. Ideological presumptions created false images and raised barriers to understanding that even good intelligence could not penetrate. Only when the leaders of Britain and France realized the scale of Hitler's ambition, and the challenge Germany posed to their Great Power status, did they finally declare war.

More than 60 years have passed since the outbreak of the most catastrophic conflict the world has known: 30 million people dead and unbelievable devastation. In the 3rd edition of this popular volume, Keith Eubank seeks answers to the questions that have plagued us: Why, after the ghastly ordeal of World War I did Western powers undervalue the threat from Hitler? Why was there so much reluctance on the part of Britain and France to confront Germany? Why had Germany been permitted to rearm and to occupy independent nations without a struggle? What was the policy of appeasement? Why did the appeasers fail to perceive Hitler's intentions? In addition to a re-examination of these questions and an effort to dispel the enduring myths surrounding the history of this era, Keith Eubank has enhanced this new edition by including an analysis of the motivations and actions of central figures such as Neville Chamberlain and Joseph Stalin as well as a re-assessment of Soviet policies in the light of recent research that reveals their leaders as far less altruistic than some have imagined. With an expanded conclusion, a new photo section, and an updated bibliographic essay, this book remains an excellent brief overview of the period between 1918 and 1939.
