However, as is usually the case, there's often much more to the story than is generally understood. David Faber's insightful book, "Munich, 1938", filled in the blanks behind Chamberlain's much discussed "appeasement" of Hitler and his takeover of Czechoslovakia. Faber points out that Hitler's military expansion and plans to invade Czechoslovakia were already in place at the time of Chamberlain's meetings with Hitler. He also explained that the French had an existing mutual defense treaty with Czechoslovakia, and how they were equally complicient in the abandonment of the Czech nation. With German troop movement ready to move into Czechoslovakia, the acceptance of the idea of self-determination for the German speaking Czech's, the previous acceptance by the Czech government to transfer of the Sudentenland to German control, the French and British recognized that the German takeover was a fait accompli. Further, they both recognized that any threats of war had no affect on Hitler's plans, and there was no way they would be able to prevent the German takeover. So with the takeover all but complete, and with no way to prevent it, Chamberlain in consultation with the French hoped that his negotiations would placate Hitler's desire for further expansion and bring, as he said, "Peace with honor-Peace for our time." In hindsight, we clearly see the folly in this hope, but Faber provides a look at the background of the time, brings an number of interesting facts to light, and at least explains why Chamberlain held out this hope.
