Synopsis

Who were the Brits that tried to help the Nazis?

At the end of the Second World War, nearly 200 British nationals were under investigation for assisting Hitler's Germany. Many have remained infamous such as William Joyce, known as Lord Haw-Haw, and John Amery, who were both executed for High Treason.

But in this study Adrian Weale unearths others who plotted to undermine the Allies. Weale begins with Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists, through the war years and the following trials from investigations by MI5.

This is a complex history of betrayal, double-crossing and treachery, with the revelation that a British Fascist turned double agent was working at the heart of the Third Reich to undermine the Nazi propaganda effort in Britain.

Renegades: Hitler's Englishmen is a revealing history of allies and enemies.

But they seem to connect and have become good friends. Their wives are also close friends. There are lots......more

Goodreads review by Kasa on January 10, 2022

Conversations between two men that I revere, what more could be said. Beautifully, generously photographed, they discuss the differences in their lives but their amazing friendship thanks to "similarities in the moral shape of our lives...". Fatherhood, respect for their partners who are partners in......more

Goodreads review by Boudewijn on June 23, 2022

I did listen to the podcast so I mainly used this book for the additionel pictures and backstory. Very interesting. I have been a Springsteen fan since I first heard him back in 1984 and have visited multiple concerts. I don't think you can be a 'fan' for a political figure (you always have to remain......more
