RHLSTP Book Club #162 - The Traitors Circle - Richard talks to journalist and author Jonathan Freedland about his non-fiction thriller, The Traitors Circle, which isn’t about the TV series, but the horrific consequences of failing to discover a traitor in your midst in real life. They chat about the parallels between Nazi Germany and other more recent political developments, the surprising group of people who resisted Hitler in varying degrees and the complicity of the vast majority. How one of the characters in the story was at the heart of development of mass extermination and how others were willing to go along with mass murder, the incredible luck that Hitler enjoyed in the various assassination plots that he survived, the fervour with which his supporters continued his work, even as their enemy was at the gates and how there is no justice for the traitor at the heart of the circle. Plus how in spite of the horror of the subject, the bravery and rebellion of the people who opposed the regime is an incredible positive and what effect does a subject like this have on the author.Buy the book here <a href="https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/the-traitors-circle-the-rebels-against-the-nazis-and-the-spy-who-betrayed-them-jonathan-freedland/7872819" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/the-traitors-circle-the-rebels-against-the-nazis-and-the-spy-who-betrayed-them-jonathan-freedland/7872819</a>SUPPORT THE SHOW!See details of the <a href="https://richardherring.com/gigs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">RHLSTP LIVE DATES </a>Watch our <a href="https://twitch.tv/rkherring" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TWITCH CHANNEL</a>Become a badger and see extra content&nbsp;at our <a href="https://rhlstp.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">WEBSITE </a>Buy DVDs and books from <a href="https://gofasterstripe.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">GO FASTER STRIPE</a><hr> Hosted on Acast.
