  No Im afraid to say I dont think thats spot on at all. The word used earlier by BarryW saying he was naive is more apt. If he got a year of extra time it was purely at the grace of one Mr Hitler...so therefore more luck than judgement. History does not see Chamberlain in a good light but perhaps thats a tad unjust. He meant well and clearly believed in the paper he was waving about...but alas the agreement wasnt worth the paper it was written on!
  
  Chamberlain was of the old colonial school I would suggest and beleived in the noble maxim that "a gentlemans word is his bond" and so on, but nobody told that to the other devious players in the game. Unfortunately.
