When war was declared he joined the Royal Fusiliers and served on the Western Front, surviving a mustard gas attack; Chapman also served in World War II. Following the First World War, he worked as an editor for several publishing houses - it was through this career that he met his wife, writer Storm Jameson, whom he married in 1926. Chapman's chief literary works from the 1930s onwards analysed French political system and modern French history, and his time in war; in addition to writing seven books during his life, Chapman also served as Professor of Modern History at University of Leeds (1945-53), and later a visiting Professor at University of Pittsburgh (1948-9).
