Description

|
|

No historical event has exerted more undue influence on America's post–World War II use of military force than the Anglo-French appeasement of Nazi Germany at Munich in 1938, posits defense analyst Jeffrey Record. The supposed lesson of Munich—that capitulating to the demands of aggressive dictatorships invites further aggression and makes inevitable a larger war—has been relied on by presidents from Harry Truman through George W. Bush when interpreting security threats. Record argues that appeasement failed in the 1930s because Hitler was both unappeaseable and undeterrable—an extremely rare situation—and identifies lessons more relevant to meeting today's U.S. foreign policy and security challenges.
