he's always remembered as the man of munich who signed away czechoslovakia. he was not a very impressive prime minister or an impressive leader. on national leaders can only go as fast as their nations will allow them to. from 1939 to 41, all the way through attempting to drag the united states to war and roosevelt was desperately anxious democracies, britain should not lose the war, until pearl harbor he knew he couldn't carry them to declaration of war. he was lucky he did not become prime minister until may of 1940 because he was able to shift the blame to britain on the battlefield up to and including may of 1940 on to neville chamberlain, the judge was able to take over without bearing the blame of all the stuff chamberlain was responsible for. before he became prime minister he was regarded as a successful radical politician, terrific things for britain on domestic issues before 1938 but became prime minister, never got anything right and the man who signed the munich agreement allowing hitler to take over czechoslovakia but in a way, the writing of his

burn and some historians would argue that britain and france should've gone to war in 1938 in czechoslovakia i did not agree i think in 1938 there was a lot of people desperate to avoid the war who still believe that you could bargain, what was dramatically different in 1979 wasr a behavior that everybody was hard to bring to see that this guy was somebody who could not negotiate and only be dealt with by the forcece of arms,. >> what is neville chamberlain's reputation today in great britain. >> it is pretty low he is always remembered the man who signed away czechoslovakia and i don't think he was a veryy impressive prime minister, i don't think he was impressive leader but all national leaders can only go as fast as their nations will allow them to, franklin understood this very powerfully between 1979 and 41, it was essential all the way through attempting to drag the united states into the war, frankly roosevelt was desperately anxious that the democracies should lose the war but he knew he would have to carry the marker people with ito until pearl harbor he knew that he could not carry

the man who signed away czechoslovakia and i don't think he was a very impressive prime minister. think he was a very impressive leader but all national leaders can only go as fast as their nations will allow them to. franklin roosevelt understood this very clearly between 1939 and '41, churchill all the way through attempting to drag the united states into war and franklin roosevelt was desperately anxious that the democracies above all britain should not lose the war. he knew he had to carry the american people with him and until pearl harbor he knew he couldn't carry with them in declaration of war. well, in the same way i've argued in my own book that churchill was lucky he did not become prime minister until may 1940 because he was able to shuffle the blame for disasters that happened after britain on the battlefield up to and including may 1940, which wasn't wasn't entirely fair. churchill was able to take over without bearing the blame of the shame of stuff that chamberland was responsible for. the curious thing is that before he became prime minister, chamberland had been

this huge arms deal with czechoslovakia, which was actually so it's, you know, lakia was supposed to supply egypt with 200 aircraft tanks. 1000 kelvin. it was something fabulous. in november 1955 fingers began a 2nd term as israel's prime minister. at the top of his agenda was how to respond to the growing strength of egypt now armed to the teeth. ah, 8 months later the opportunity came when nothing announced the nationalization of the suez canal. a decision that outraged the partition french, the owners of the international canal company. this is a matter of life and death to us. all our call is not religion still less for the out of what it is with colonel national is shown that he's not a man or can be trusted to keep an agreeable britain and france were convinced that military intervention would be needed to recapture the canal. and bring down the upstarts and offered but to pretext was needed for the san san beano. was no, that's my home guy. my most i left the home is very little. i says in norm higher flow, we mean killer fighting them with the had anybody at the house myself

. >> someone else asked what were the reactions to the soviet withdrawal in cuba and then czechoslovakia and the others. >> one thing that we know depended on the relations that day. i quote in my book memoirs of the security shift and talking about extremely hectic behavior on the part of khrushchev. in terms of the rest, everyone was terrified. the closest advisors but they kept silent and really couldn't say publicly what they felt that the attitude was critical. there were reports to visit soon after and what they report on is almost hours trying to sell to them it was a great success and that is very clear he had to get the access and that it was critical. a. >> we need to wrap up now, but i have one last question for you. this was said to be the most dangerous going into the history. what do you think of the situation we are looking in today? is it a more or less dangerous world than it was back in 1962 if you could be quite succinct about that? i thought it would be possible in the introduction of the conclusions. the feeling is [inaudible] pre- 62 this is the nuclear arms race, u
