Foreign Correspondent
The really awful thing about British foreign policy in this period was that it was not appeasement. It was strengthening an aggressive, wicked dictatorship that was going to bring nothing but disaster for the whole world.
During the 1930s, Shiela Grant Duff was one of the many young people who viewed the rise of Fascism in Europe with concern, and who felt that the British government's policy of appeasement, particularly towards .Adolf Hitler, would lead to war. And like many of her contemporaries, Grant Duff felt she must do something to avert a war in Europe. So she chose to become a foreign correspondent, to describe what was actually happening in Europe and warn the British public of the consequences of their government's policy. Narrator ANDREW FAULDS
