The Traitors Circle

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Escape Artist comes the extraordinary true story of a group of daring Germans who risked everything to save Jewish lives during the Holocaust. The Traitors Circle tells the true, but scarcely known, story of a group of secret rebels against Hitler. Drawn from Berlin high society, they include army officers, government officials, two countesses, an ambassador's widow and a former model—meeting in the shadows, whether hiding and rescuing Jews or plotting for a Germany freed from Nazi rule. One day in September 1943 they gather for a tea party—unaware that one among them is about to betray them all to the Gestapo. But who is the betrayer of a circle themselves branded “traitors'”by the cruelest regime in history?

In another page-turning work of nonfiction that reads like a thriller, Jonathan Freedland, acclaimed author of The Escape Artist, sheds light on one of the most dramatic episodes of the second world war, telling a story of courage, resistance and ultimate betrayal that has deep moral resonance for our own time, and asks what kind of person it takes to risk everything and stand up to tyranny.
