It is quite possible we should. I came across some evidence that at the least he should be reviled for something quite different than he usually is. It seems that England was more of a paper tiger than we are led to believe and that Neville may well have been playing a difficult game trying to buy time to change that.
If this is correct then he should only be blamed for the part he played in letting the British military get in that state. Note I said the part he played, as he was not a dictator the odds are there was plenty of blame to go around for being unprepared.
Well, of course it was. Why do you think Lend-Lease came into existence? I had to read Herman Wouk's novels The Winds of War and War and Remembrance to learn about that little piece of WWII history - how the USA was in the war long before Pearl Harbor, because we were supplying England and Russia with what they needed to fight the Germans. They didn't teach us about that in high school history class! Just that "the USA was neutral until after Pearl Harbor."
Anyone who wants the full picture of that war needs to read those two books.
