Description
'An astonishing true story of courage, love and betrayal, told with the verve of a thriller. Freedland is a master' MICK HERRON 'This remarkable book reads like a novel . . . The narrative style is gripping; the morality searing. This is how the best history books will be written in the future' ANDREW ROBERTS 'Excellent . . . both history and parable, perfect reading for this moment' ANNE APPLEBAUM 'Utterly gripping, brilliantly researched and written' ANTHONY HOROWITZ 'Thrilling, humane, and deeply moving . . . the best sort of history, one whose rich characters breathe life and perspective into our present circumstance. Haunting, and not to be missed' DAVID McCLOSKEY 'The Traitors Circle rivals Freedland's superb The Escape Artist. Totally gripping and timely' JONATHAN DIMBLEBY 'Haunting and heart-poundingly suspenseful . . . Freedland's powerful story-telling has intense resonance in today's darkening world' SINCLAIR MCKAY 'As tense as a thriller yet perceptive, thoughtful and thoroughly researched' KATJA HOYER When the whole world is lying, someone must tell the truth. Berlin, 1943. A group of high-society anti-Nazi dissenters meet for a tea party one late summer afternoon. They do not know that, sitting around the table, is someone poised to betray them all to the Gestapo - revealing their secret to the Nazis' most ruthless detective. They form a circle of unlikely rebels, drawn from the German elite: two countesses, a diplomat, an intelligence officer, an ambassador's widow and a pioneering headmistress. Meeting in the shadows, rescuing Jews or plotting for a future Germany freed from the Führer's rule, what unites them is a shared loathing of the Nazis, a refusal to bow to Hitler and the courage to perform perilous acts of resistance. Or so they believe. How did a group of brave, principled rebels, who had successfully defied Adolf Hitler for more than a decade, come to fall into such a lethal trap? And who betrayed them? Undone from within and pursued to near-destruction by one of the Reich's cruellest men, they showed a heroism that raises a question with new urgency for our time: what kind of person does it take to risk everything and stand up to tyranny?
