Book excerpt: History has not looked kindly upon Neville Chamberlain. Despite a long and distinguished political career, his trip to Munich in 1938 and the 'appeasement' of Hitler have forever overshadowed his many other achievements and blighted his reputation, his name now synonymous with the futility of trying to reason with dictators and bullies. Yet, as this biography shows, there is much more to this complex and intriguing character than is generally supposed, and even the infamous events of 1938 are open to more charitable interpretations than is usually the case. Appeasement brought the British government crucial time in which to rearm, and in particular allowed the RAF to drastically increase the number of fighter aircraft it could muster for the Battle of Britain during the summer of 1940. Based on the study of over 150 collections of private papers on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as exhaustive exploration of British government records held in the National Archives, it is no exaggeration to say that the author has surveyed virtually all the existing archival material written by or to Chamberlain, as well as a high proportion of that referring to him. As such, this volume will no doubt establish itself as the definitive account of Chamberlain's life and career, and provide a much fuller and fairer picture of his actions than has hitherto been the case.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Joseph Chamberlain: An Honest Biography Three men of political genius and bold action filled a place as prominent as that of a Prime Minister on the Parliamentary stage for many years after Lord Beaconsfield's death. Two of them passed away in the gloom of unsatisfied ambition. Mr. Parnell's public career was shattered by his private conduct; Lord Randolph Churchill, sinking in ill-health to an early grave, learned the hard but inexorable lesson that no man is indispensable. Life has given a longer trial to Mr. Chamberlain, who resembles the Irish leader and the Tory democrat in originality, daring and force. Other Parliamentarians who in their day played great parts may fade into indistinct shadows in the memory, but these three will remain as vivid, picturesque figures among the later contemporaries of Gladstone. In birth, education and early environment, Mr. Joseph Chamber-lain differed from the men who as a rule govern this country. The records of many of our political leaders begin with the University, with the houses of great families, with hunting and shooting, with secretaryships to statesmen and visits to ambassadors abroad. It was in the tough world of business, in the local debating society, in municipal enterprise that Mr. Chamberlain received his training for Parliament and the Cabinet. He entered the political arena, not to pass the time, but to satisfy ambition, to let loose a strong will on the world, and, perchance, to leave it a little better than he found it. To understand the man whose restlessness has agitated Parliament for thirty years, and who after leaving one great party has broken up the other, some knowledge is necessary of his youth and early experience.

Book excerpt: Winston Churchill described Joseph Chamberlain as 'the man who made the weather' for twenty years in British politics between the 1880s and the 1900s. This volume contains contributions on every aspect of Chamberlain's career, including international and cultural perspectives hitherto ignored by his many biographers. It breaks his career into three aspects: his career as an international statesman, defender of British interests and champion of imperial federation; his role as a national leader, opposing Gladstone's crusade for Irish home rule by forming an alliance with the Conservatives, campaigning for social reform and finally advocating a protectionist economic policy to promote British business; and the aspect for which he is still celebrated in his adopted city, as the provider of sanitation, gas lighting, clean water and cultural achievement for Birmingham – a model of civic regeneration that still inspires modern politicians such as Michael Heseltine, Tristram Hunt and David Willetts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Joseph Chamberlain: An Honest Biography In an estimate of Mr. Chamberlain, much turns on consistency. It is true, as Lowell has remarked, that the foolish and the dead alone never change their opinion.' Such a dictum, however, is not a sufficient guide. The circumstances must be considered. Alteration of Opinion, ' said Mr. Gladstone, 'is not always to be blamed, but it is always to be watched with Vigilance always to be challenged and put upon its trial.' This was his own fate in the affair of Home Rule, and it was Sir Robert Peel's fate with regard to the corn duty. All political leaders change their Opinions, but the present volume shows that the changes in Mr. Chamberlain's case were unusually numerous and violent, that they affected nearly every great secular subject discussed in his time, and that they occurred not only in the judgments of his youth, but in those of his mature and ripe manhood; he renounced, indeed, during the last two decades of his career, not merely his View of one great subject, but most of the beliefs which he had professed till the age of fifty. Yet the writer, instead of pronouncing a verdict upon his motives, submits the whole case to the jury. He tries to describe what Mr. Chamberlain said and did, and how he looked and spoke to describe the scenes amid which he moved and the contem poraries among whom he mingled, and the impression which he pro duced upon Parliament and people.
