Chamberlainism in contemporary England

Here is a book review by Daniel Johnson of the New York Sun on Melanie Phillips' Londonistan- a frightening book which argues that the one European country we tend to identify with Tony Blair's hard-headed realism toward the Islamofascist threat in fact stands in relationship to it more like Neville Chamberlain's England did to the Nazi threat prior to the outbreak of World War II.

Certainly the polls have for a long time belied our benign image of the current attitudes of the British nation toward the current World War III. Perhaps we need to bring our perceptions more into line with reality.
