An evening with Paddy Ashdown

From the bestselling and prize-winning author Paddy Ashdown, Nein!, is a revelatory new book focusing on the history of German opposition to Hitler from 1934 – 1945.

In his last days, Adolf Hitler raged in his bunker that he had been defeated because he had been betrayed from the inside. His armies were being crushed on all fronts but from the beginning there were Germans determined to bring him and his Nazi party down.

This is the story of those who, starting in 1934, repeatedly attempted to kill Hitler, frustrate his war aims, pass his military secrets to the Allies and, from 1943 onwards, strike a separate peace with the West, which would have avoided eastern Europe falling under the Soviet yoke.

Based on newly released files, Paddy Ashdown tells this remarkable story for the first time. Join Chorleywood Bookshop and Lord Ashdown for a fascinating night of espionage, conspiracy and assassinations, as we explore the courage of the German people and their allies who worked tirelessly to overthrow the Nazi regime.
