Description
The national government that ran Britain during the 1930s has always received a very bad press. Its ultimate disgrace over the Munich crisis and the catastrophic opening phase of World War II sealed the fate of an experiment which had always been criticized by both Left and Right and which has since made any further peacetime attempts at coalition government utterly disreputable. The author of this text argues that the national government has been woefully misunderstood by historians who have allowed themselves to be too influenced by its collapse.
