Publisher's Summary
From the best-selling author of Fatherland, Conclave and An Officer and a Spy.
September 1938. Hitler is determined to start a war. Chamberlain is desperate to preserve the peace. The issue is to be decided in a city that will forever afterwards be notorious for what takes place there....
Munich.
As Chamberlain's plane judders over the Channel and the Führer's train steams relentlessly south from Berlin, two young men travel with secrets of their own. Hugh Legat is one of Chamberlain's private secretaries; Paul Hartmann a German diplomat and member of the anti-Hitler resistance. Great friends at Oxford before Hitler came to power, they haven't seen one another since they were last in Munich six years earlier. Now, as the future of Europe hangs in the balance, their paths are destined to cross again.
When the stakes are this high, who are you willing to betray? Your friends, your family, your country or your conscience?

Interesting With Quality Writing
There aren't many better than Robert Harris when it comes to historical novels. This is really good, and makes you feel like you are there, the performance is once again superb. My only quibble is with the 'B' plot, it seems to be there to make the story longer but in the end has no effect and there are no consequences. I think the 'A' plot would stand on it's own and could be fleshed out more. However it is still a cracking read and well worth a listen.

History made intimate.
Harris is one of the great writers of historical fiction at present. The familiar history of Chamberlain and the Munich conference of 1938 is here unpacked in a short novel that somehow captures it all at a human scale. It also offers a more nuanced reading of Chamberlain’s motives and choices than many orthodox histories.
Beautifully read by David Rintoul.

another opinion
good read and plausible explanation giving Chamberlain some credit for allowing England time to get ready for Hitler's assault
