Customer Review ” I really enjoyed this book – fascinating plot that had me gripped. At centre of the story is an Anglo-German family whose loyalties are torn during the second world war. The woman has an affair with Hitler – seems rather far-fetched but the book draws you in and I couldn’t put it down!”
Historical drama spanning more than one hundred years, from its origins at the beginning of the twentieth century to continuing repercussions into the twenty-first. Here is an extract:
Lise gave the prime minister a full and detailed briefing of her visit, of Hitler’s acceptance of his terms, of the coming attack on Russia and the conviction that Germany would achieve a quick victory. She told him frankly of the carefree atmosphere she had found, but also of Kaufmann’s doubts. Churchill listened attentively. When she finished, he remained silent for some while, sipping his tea and puffing at his cigar.
‘This is the single most critical decision of the whole war. If Germany beats Russia as Hitler believes she can, we shall have to make peace on his terms. If Germany breaks its war machine against Stalin hoards and wears out its materiel in Russia’s vast spaces, as I believe it will, we shall have peace, but on our terms. The third possibility is that Hitler loses outright and Stalin advances towards German frontiers. Then we shall have to launch a second front, ostensibly to finish off the Third Reich, but in reality to stop the Russians over-running all Europe and reaching the channel coast. For that we will need the Americans.’
