Lorelei Kelly reminds me of Jeffrey Record’s excellent monograph “Appeasement Reconsidered” done for the Army War College’s Institute for Strategic Studies (a noted hotbed of anti-American sentiment), a survey of the misuse of “appeasement” rhetoric to sell people on foreign policy boondoggles in the post-war era. John McCain and George Bush should check it out, they might learn something.
