TELEGRAPH and SPECTATOR HISTORY BOOK OF THE YEAR How
the British might have handled Hitler differently remains one
of history’s greatest ‘what ifs’. Coffee with Hitler tells
the astounding and poignant story, for the first time, of a handful
of amateur British intelligence agents who wined, dined and
befriended the leading National Socialists between the wars. With
support from royalty, aristocracy, politicians and businessmen,
they hoped to use the much mythologised Anglo-German Fellowship as
a vehicle to civilise the Nazis. A pacifist Welsh historian, a
Great War flying ace, and a butterfly-collecting businessman
offered the British government better intelligence on the
horrifying rise of the Nazis than anyone else. Charles Spicer draws
on newly discovered primary sources, shedding light on the early
career of Kim Philby, Winston Churchill’s approach to
appeasement, the US entry into the war and the Rudolf Hess affair.
