What does Churchill think about the Munich agreement?

Churchill was in what he referred to as his wilderness years. Though a Conservative MP he was not in the Government (The conservatives were in power, but Churchill was not part of the governing executive of the party at Westminster. In previous administrations he had been Chancellor of the Exchequer, Finance minister) Therefore his position was marginalised outside the party elite. Lord Halifax & others were also against Appeasement & there were speeches to that effect & so on. But of course many people, supported by the media, thought the Government were to be supported. It has to be said the right wing press (In Britain & elsewhere) had a vested interest in the successes of the right wing Fuehrer in Germany. It is also worth bearing in mind that by this time Churchill might reasonably be thinking about retirement, he was no longer a young man. At the time I am quite sure most, not all but most, people though 'Peace in our Time' was what they wanted & needed. The idea of the reality that would blight their lives for the next decade was quite unimaginable. One might suppose it was Churchills opposition to Munich that eventually leads to his Premiership. His stewardship of the British nation from 1940 through to the end of WW2 might be criticised by some, a few indeed, but I am not among their number.
