Publisher's Synopsis
September 1939. For years now Britain has been rudderless, divided and grievously unequal. When war breaks out, the imperiled nation achieves the unity and purpose that has eluded it for more than a decade. It is a time of heroism and sacrifice in which many thousands of soldiers and civilians give their lives. But some infamous Britons choose a different path, renegades who will fight for the Third Reich until its gruesome collapse in 1945. Drawing on declassified MI5 files, as well as diaries, letters and memoirs, The Traitors is a book about disordered lives in turbulent times. It shows how a man might come to desert his country's cause, and the tragic consequences that treachery brings in its wake.
