This text explores the inner workings of the 'Cliveden Set'. Analysing the political tactics used by the group, this book carefully unpicks the strategic moves played by aristocrats within 1930's Britain. Considered to be a scapegoat for Britain's Appeasement Policy by many historians, the Cliveden Set utilized their influence to encourage a British foreign policy that supported Hitler's rearmament and the annexation of Austria and Czechoslovakia. This book would be beneficial to all academics with a keen interest in politics, history and social structures. Researchers and historians will also enjoy the deep analysis of the dynamic created by this group.
