First published 2017
September 1938. British civil servant Hugh Legat travels with Neville Chamberlain to the conference that will decide the fate of Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland. In the German delegation, Paul von Hartmann serves a government he has come to oppose and carries evidence he believes could change British policy.
Former Oxford friends, Legat and Hartmann are drawn into a private effort beneath the formal diplomacy of appeasement. Their meeting places personal loyalty against official duty as Hitler, Mussolini, Chamberlain and Daladier negotiate an agreement intended to prevent war.
