'A thoroughly gripping and mesmerising work of black comedy and
political disaster' - Guardian Winner of the 2017 Prix Goncourt
Eric Vuillard's gripping novel The Order of the Day tells the story
of the pivotal meetings which took place between the European
powers in the run-up to World War Two. What emerges is a
fascinating and incredibly moving account of failed diplomacy,
broken relationships, and the catastrophic momentum which led to
conflict. The titans of German industry - set to prosper under the
Nazi government - gather to lend their support to Adolf Hitler. The
Austrian Chancellor realizes too late that he has wandered into a
trap, as Hitler delivers the ultimatum that will lay the groundwork
for Germany's annexation of Austria. Winston Churchill joins
Neville Chamberlain for a farewell luncheon held in honour of
Joachim von Ribbentrop: German Ambassador to England, soon to be
Foreign Minister in the Nazi government, and future defendant at
the Nuremberg trials. Suffused with dramatic tension, this
unforgettable novel tells the tragic story of how the actions of a
few powerful men brought the world to the brink of war.
