Taylor's constant fairness is nowhere more apparent than in his explanation of the seemingly sound strategic reasons which led the French General Staff to acquiesce in the Munich settlement. But he feels that in respect to the psychological war, at that time still imperfectly understood by the Allies, Munich was a climax which very nearly ruined France.
