Publisher Description
From the internationally best-selling author of Fatherland and the Cicero Trilogy--a new spy thriller about treason and conscience, loyalty and betrayal, set against the backdrop of the fateful Munich Conference of September 1938.
Hugh Legat is a rising star of the British diplomatic service, serving at 10 Downing Street as a private secretary to the Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain. Paul von Hartmann is on the staff of the German Foreign Office--and secretly a member of the anti-Hitler resistance. The two men were friends at Oxford in the 1920s, but have not been in contact since. Now, when Hugh flies with Chamberlain from London to Munich, and Hartmann travels on Hitler's train overnight from Berlin, their paths are set on a disastrous collision course. And once again, Robert Harris gives us actual events of historical importance--here are Hitler, Chamberlain, Mussolini, Daladier--at the heart of an electrifying, unputdownable novel.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The author of Fatherland and Enigma returns to World War II with this gripping thriller. As an unprepared Britain braces for Hitler’s fury, Hugh Legat—secretary to Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain—learns a secret that could alter the outcome of the looming war. Full of vividly drawn scenes of real historical events and crackling spy intrigue, Munich is Harris at his best: sophisticated and suspenseful.
Customer Reviews
Munich
Excellent historical novel, both educational and a very good read.
Munich
Was hoping for more... disappointing
A short novella
This is an excellent presentation but it is also surprisingly short. I feel as if I've only been given half the story.
