James Holland

Then he subsequently becomes prime minister and sticks to his guns on that.

It is he that enables the Air Force and the Air Ministry to develop the first fully coordinated air defense system anywhere in the world.

There is not an air defense system in Poland, nor Norway, nor Denmark, nor the Netherlands, nor Belgium, nor France. There is in Britain. Britain is the only one. And frankly, it pays off big time in the summer of 1940. So you have to give him credit for that.

Britain, interestingly, is also the world's leading armaments exporter in the 1930s, which is amazing, really, when you think everyone complains about the fact that we weren't rearming enough. Actually, we were. When we had all the infrastructure there and we were expanding that infrastructure dramatically. I say we, I'm only saying that because I'm British. So they were doing that.

But in 1938, Britain wasn't ready for war. Now, you can argue that Germany wasn't ready for war either. But Chamberlain was prime minister in a democracy, a parliamentary democracy, when 92% of the population were against going to war in 1938. There is not a single democratic leader in the world that would go against the wishes of 92% of the population.
