It's September 1938 and British PM Neville Chamberlin is dealing with psychopath Hitler, who is poised to seize parts of Czechoslovakia. Harris has researched the efforts carefully, and crafted an interesting story. Two junior foreign service reps are center stage, Hugh Legat on the British side and Paul von Hartmann on the German side. They attended Oxford at the same time earlier. Paul is one of a group of Germans who, in words which sound like they could be written about Donald Trump, recognizes that many people admire Hitler because he has done this or that---but that they will come to regret their support of him. He hopes to pass info to Hugh that make it clear that Hitler plans to expand and expand Germany. I'll leave it to you to see how that plays out. The conclusion was a bit weak, but the story itself fascinating and that's what kept me going.
