‘How might the British have handled Hitler differently?’ remains one of history’s greatest ‘what ifs’.

Coffee with Hitler tells the astounding story of how a handful of amateur British intelligence agents wined, dined and befriended the leading National Socialists between the wars. With support from royalty, aristocracy, politicians and businessmen, they hoped to use the recently founded Anglo-German Fellowship as a vehicle to civilise and enlighten the Nazis. A Telegraph and Spectator Best Book of the Year. In conversation with Gerry Foley.
