The story of a lost film about the relationship between Adolf
Hitler and the English aristocrat Unity Mitford 'A wonderful novel,
written with exceptional knowledge and understanding of past and
present Germany' Gitta Sereny 'The most intriguing and
thought-provoking novel I have read this year' Daily Express 'A
remarkable, unsettling book' The Times 'A gripping read packed with
intrigue, sex, politics and death. What more could you possibly
want?' Attitude Unity tells the story of a lost film about the
relationship between the English aristocrat, Unity Mitford, and
Hitler, set against the background of the Red Army Faction terror
campaign in 1970s Germany. Shooting has to be abandoned when the
leading actress, Felicity Benthall, joins in the campaign,
following her affair with a charismatic Palestinian. The author
himself features in the narrative when, almost thirty years later,
he attempts to uncover the truth about Felicity and another
university friend, Luke Dent, who wrote the film-script. He
consults Luke's letters from the set and the diaries of the former
Hollywood child star and revolutionary socialist, Geraldine
Mortimer, who played Diana Mosley; interviews two of the German
actors and the film's producer, Thomas Bucher, an Auschwitz
survivor turned high-powered pornographer; reads a revealing memoir
by the director's widow; and corresponds with Carole Medhurst, a
British actress turned Hollywood mogul. Their testimonies set up an
intricate chain of associations from 1930s Britain to post-war
Germany, painting a disturbing picture of corruption and
fanaticism, and casting light on the nature of evil.
