In 1938, the American magazine 'Time' declared him 'Man of the Year'.Chamberlain remembered the slaughter of the First World War; he thought another war would destroy civilization.

My Father ( born 1907 ) discussed this with me before his death in 1982 when I asked him what he thought of Chamberlain and the Munich Agreement. He told me that the average Brit had a very poor opinion of Mr. Chamberlain and an even lower one of Adolph Hitler ( but for different reasons ) and that they doubted there would be peace in their time believing that Hitler would strike first. Most felt that the bit of paper that Mr. Chamberlain waved when he arrived back from Munich was not " Peace in our Time, " but more " No war this Year, " and history proved them right.
