A deeply conservative, Christian countryman, Stanley Baldwin seems an unlikely prime minister to have led Britain into the terrifying new world of depression and dictatorship that emerged in the 1930s, and his reputation has been blighted by accusations of appeasement. Yet as this sympathetic biography makes clear, he was deeply in tune with a war-weary nation still traumatized by memories of the previous conflict and he played a vital role in Britain's material and psychological rearmament.
