Coffee with Hitler: The British Amateurs Who Tried to Civilise the Nazis
Author: Charles Spicer
Format: Hardback
Number of Pages: 400
It's one of the great 'what ifs' of history. What if Britain had stood up to Hitler much earlier? Coffee with Hitler tells the astounding story of how a handful of British amateur spies, under the guise of the Anglo-German Fellowship, wined, dined and befriended the most senior Nazis. British opposition to appeasement came in many guises. The little-known Anglo-German Fellowship were convinced that Neville Chamberlain's foreign policy was bound to lead to war. This group were neither career diplomats nor professional intelligence agents, ranging from a pacifist Welsh historian and a Great War flying ace to an Old Etonian butterfly collector. The book draws on newly discovered sources that reveal Winston Churchill's true feelings about the state of play on the eve of war.
