In 2008, Buchanan published a book entitled, ''Churchill, Hitler and the Unnecessary War: How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World''<ref>https://www.amazon.com/Churchill-Hitler-Unnecessary-War-Britain/dp/0307405168/ref=sr_1_1</ref> in which he criticized [[British]] [[Prime Minister]] [[Neville Chamberlain]] for granting [[security guarantee]]s to [[Poland]] and unnecessarily causing [[World War II]], costing the lives of more than 50 million people.
