[…] has, apparently, marched on. So far there have been few reviews, and one of these (by M.R.D. Foot in The Times) snootily accuses Griffiths of revisionist his tory writing. Evidence now shows that a bigger than usually imagined section of MPs and Peers were willing to strike a deal with the Nazis in 1939/1940.(1) […]
