Description

1938. Germany is not ready for war, but Hitler intends to seize Czechoslovakia. Britain is not ready for war either, but it must stand with France to protect the Czechs. Prime Minister Chamberlain seeks Hitler’s agreement to a meeting, hoping to reach a compromise. Hugh Legate is a rising star of British diplomacy, Chamberlain’s private secretary. Paul von Hartmann is an official of the German Foreign Office and a participant in an anti-Hitler conspiracy. These men were friends when they studied at Oxford in the 1920s, but since then they’ve had no contact. And now they’re headed for a meeting in Munich. One goes there to prevent another world war at any cost; the other— to unleash it immediately.
