		Chamberlain's mistrust of German politicians and diplomats was evident throughout the autumn of 1924 and the whole of 1925.

		(84) Chamberlain claimed that he was 'amazed at the blindness of the Germans to the inevitable consequences of [their] own action' while at the same time asking the Allies for 'patience, forbearance and statesmanship, not to say courage, in [the] face of public opinion in which in effect they avow themselves incapable'.

	\| Review \| The History Teacher, 36.1 \| The History Cooperative
		In the 1920s Neville Chamberlain was regarded as an uncharismatic but highly efficient administrator and a diligent social reformer.
		In 1940, the year of his death, he was condemned as the chief of the Guilty Men whose criminal negligence and failure to heed his wiser colleagues had left his county isolated, humiliated, and defenseless in the face of an all-powerful Nazi Germany.
		A chapter on the manner in which Neville Chamberlain was viewed by contemporaries is followed by a detailed elucidation of the indictment in Guilty Men (1940), which was that his gross mismanagement of Britain's foreign relations had rewarded rather than deterred Fascist aggression.

	The Austen Chamberlain Diary Letters - Cambridge University Press (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		This book is a collection of the diary letters of Austen Chamberlain from 1916 to 1937.
		They provide particularly valuable personal accounts of key events such as the negotiations of the Irish Treaty in 1921, the troubles leading to the Carlton Club revolt of October 1922, the Locarno agreements of 1925, the leadership crisis of 1930-31, and the backbench campaign against the German threat in the 1930s.
		Chamberlain felt free to express his most candid feelings and emotions in the privacy of these diary letters and, as a result, they throw much valuable light upon arguably one of the most misjudged politicians of the age, and one who has certainly been overshadowed by his more famous father and half-brother.
