While many applauded Chamberlain's concessions in Munich the First Lord of the Admiralty Alfred Duff Cooper was so disgusted by the agreement that he resigned. This is only significant in that he went on later to become the British liaison to the Free French (1943) and ambassador to France (1944) under Winston Churchill.

I just received a book I learned about from BroJoeK in which Alfred Duff Cooper is a prominent character. The title is Troublesome Young Men, by Lynne Olson. I look forward to reading it. He also reminded me of The Gathering Storm, The first volume of Churchill's wartime memoirs. This project has really expanded my reading list. I am also behind on your radio broadcasts. I still haven't listened to the last couple you posted. These international crises are hard on my routine.

Most telling is that Hitler went back and told his generals, “Our enemies are little worms, I saw them in Munich.”
