SYNOPSIS: THE CONSPIRATORS The German professor who spied for the Allies during WWII . . .he was tortured to death on a meat hook in a Berlin prison yard; The Intelligence chief privy to his country's secrets . . . he was tricked into negotiations with the Gestapo; The millionaire businessman who was Field-Marshall Goering's confidante . . . he was entrusted by the British Government to bargain with Hitler; The Nazi officer who was Hitler's right-hand man . . . he was secretly betraying his country for an incredible price; The English minister who learned of the officers' plot against the Fuehrer . . . he was informed by Germans pleading for his help; They were all part of the strangest espionage mission to emerge from the last world war. You have never heard of them - until now! - and - Idealists, opportunists, generals, spies, civil servants - these were The Conspirators. A mixed group of people, largely unknown, they tried bravely to prevent the last war and, failing that, tried to cut it short. Among them was Birger Dahlerus, the Swedish mediator and once Goring's friend, who negotiated desperately between Hitler and Chamberlain in the last fitful days of August, 1939. There was doctor Josef Muller who persuaded the Vatican to approach Lord Halifax with plans for peace before the German invasion of Belgium, Holland and France. There were two intelligence officers who discovered, too late, that they were negotiating with the Gestapo; and there was the Bishop of Chichester who was told about the plot carried out by Count Stauffenberg to assassinate Hitler in 1944 with a time-bomb. Many of these extraordinarily gripping adventures are told here for the first time. . First Thus 1st Printing. Mass Market Paperback. Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall., Award Books - Universal Publishing and Distributing Corporation, 1968, 2.5, London England: Macmillan. Hardback. Previous owners name and date to inside cover. Here are Mr. Macmillan's recollections and assessments of the giants of the generation before his own. He describes his father's political friends and the 'honourable ambition' which led him to go into public life. He gives highly personal portraits of major politicians, such as Lloyd George (who taught him how - and how not - to make a speech in the House). Ramsay MacDonald, Baldwin, Chamberlain and Churchill in his years in the wilderness, and he gives his views - often original and always informed - of their stature as politicians. He sketches vivid cameos of the lesser figures and describes such changing aspects of the political scene as elections and elctioneering. He reflects on the shiftin patters of power: the total eclipse of Whiggery (which found its apogee in the Pallisers), the rise of the Labour Party and the trade unions, the role of women in politics, the fates of coalitions in Britain. This lively, informal book is illustrated with many photographs of the persons and events it describes, as well as being illuminated by the author's wisdom, wit and deep knowledge of the subject. Illustrated. 240 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .
