Munich and Appeasement

Abstract: Abstract Throughout the 1930s Beaverbrook was to rely heavily upon two management figures: Mike Wardell, chairman of the Evening Standard, and E. J. Robertson, the managing director of the Daily Express. The Captain, as Mike Wardell was always known, was a man of high social connections, including, as noted, a close friendship with King Edward VIII. After a distinguished war record, Wardell had entered Beaverbrook’s social circle and employment in 1926, and for the ensuing decade was to share many of his business trips and pleasures abroad. Another member of this circle was Viscount Castlerosse, a one-time director of the Evening Standard, and a famous Sunday Express columnist.
