Jonathan Freedland with Jennifer Griffin - The Traitors Circle
Sun, Nov 9 at 2pm
Jonathan Freedland, best-selling author of The Escape Artist, award winning Guardian journalist, BBC broadcaster, and former Washington correspondent, discusses his new non-fiction thriller, The Traitors Circle. The book is the true story of secret rebels against Hitler, drawn from Berlin high society, who chose to stand up against tyranny.
Written like a novel, it is a page-turning account of resistance, heroism, betrayal and tragedy, which sheds light on one of the most dramatic and little-known episodes of WW2. The suspenseful and inspiring story resonates with a question: what makes a person trade personal safety in order to stand up against tyranny?
