Coffee with Hitler: The British amateurs who tried to civilise the Nazis |
Another take on appeasement during the thirties sounded interesting. By focussing on the little-known Anglo-German Fellowship and its Berlin counterpart, the Deutsch-Englische Gesellshaft, the author does indeed bring
some new insight into the historical narrative. But to me this is just journalism dressed up as history. He overworks the use of the ablative absolute and annoyingly, he introduces many characters by what they would become in the future. Neither make for a very satisfying read.
