Informationen zum Autor Nick Smart is Lecturer in History at the University of Plymouth. Klappentext Title in the "Routledge Historical Biographies" series. Zusammenfassung The most reinterpreted of modern British Prime Ministers Neville Chamberlain has often been portrayed as a social reformer out of sync with the times in which he lived.
