Munich

Harris, R. (2017). Munich. London: Penguin.

Dr Anne was heading for Junior Summer School in St Andrews.  Many of her friends are from Germany - Bonn, Munich.  She picked up the Munich by Robert Harris as she had read one of his previous books.  It was about the meetings of Chamberlain, Hitler, Mussolini, and Dadaldier in 1938.

Of course there are two friends - Hartman and Legat who had met at Oxford.  One was in the British Diplomatic Service and one in the Reich Foreign Ministry.  Their paths cross when a group in Germany don't want the appeasement to go ahead.  Papers are passed between the two men at great risk to both.  The appeasement goes ahead.

This was a gripping story where friends are under pressure...
