About This Item
London: John Murray, 2017. Book. As New. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. 9 1/2" x 6 1/8", [viii], 324 pages, black and white illustrations, bibliography. When war breaks out Britain achieves the unity and purpose that has eluded it for more than a decade. It is a time of heroism and sacrifice in which many thousands of soldiers and civilians give their lives. But some Britons choose a different path, renegades who will fight for the Third Reich until its gruesome collapse in 1945. The Traitors tells the stories of four such men: the chaotic, tragic John Amery; the idealistic but hate-filled William Joyce; the cynical, murderous conman Harold Cole; and Eric Pleasants, an iron-willed pacifist and bodybuilder who wants no part in this war. Drawing on declassified MI5 files, as well as diaries, letters, and memoirs, 'The Traitors' is a book about disordered lives in turbulent times; idealism twisted out of shape; of torn consciences and abandoned loyalties; of murder, deceit, temptation, and loss. It shows how a man might come to desert his country's cause, and the tragic consequences that treachery brings in its wake. Hb, as new in near fine dw. .
