John Charmley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Charmley (born 1955) is a British diplomatic historian and a professor modern history at the University of East Anglia. Charmley's historical work has proved to be controversial as he argues that Britain was wrong to go to war against Germany in 1914, that Chamberlain's appeasement of Nazi Germany was right and that Britain was wrong to declare war on her in September 1939.
