I don't like to write from a flat, cold position. You must like what you're doing very much or like the people -- either like them or hate them. You can't be indifferent.
I will begin by saying what everybody would like to ignore or forget. . . we have sustained a total and unmitigated defeat. . . All is over. Silent, mournful, abandoned, broken, Czechoslovakia recedes into the darkness. . . We are in the presence of a disaster of the first magnitude which has befallen Great Britain and France. Do not let us blind ourselves to that. . . Do not suppose that this is the end. This is only the beginning of the reckoning.
