3.5 Found this one to be hard to rate and review. The Munich agreement signed by Chamberlain and Hitler, was another part of history of which I had no knowledge. We hear from two men who had been friends in Oxford,one now serving as a newly minted secretary under Chamberlain, the other part of those with access to Hitler. A p!ot that was planned, but obviously never succeeded, for if it had the world would have been a much better place.

Needless to say in politically placed books such as these, that identify with a particular time and place, there are many characters involved, in England and in Germany. At times it dry, at times confusing, and at times suspenseful. Not sure how realistic his characterization of Chamberlain is, as I have never read much about that subject. As with all this authors works, it is intelligently written. Yet, I had a harder time connecting with this effort than with others of his I have read. I think for me there was just too darn much talking, planning and not enough action. Also, felt the tone varied little throughout, but this may be my perception. It was, however, interesting to read about the beginning, or nearly so, of his early biases and plans.
