Sir Eric Phipps was British Ambassador in Berlin (1933-37) and at Paris - two key ambassadorships which spanned the period between Hitler's advent to power and the outbreak of the Second World War. This book explains the contrast between his reputation as a staunch anti-Nazi and an 'anti-appeaser' in Berlin, and as a 'defeatist-appeaser' in Paris.
