Reviews

[Stacey]

A very intriguing look at the peace negotiations between Heinrich Himmler, Head of the SS and the second most powerful man in Nazi Germany, and the British, namely Winston Churchill. Some reviews I have seen say this book is a very clever and glorified attempt at re-writing the History books. I'm one of those who is not so sure.

A must-read for anyone interested in the intrigue of this period in History.

[Meredith]

The nature of the concessions that the German Führer was prepared to make in order to obtain peace with Britain must have astounded the men at the head of SO1.
This was not even a deal worked out through a process of hard negotiation.It was Hitler's opening gambit...an offer so generous and pragmatic that it would be very tempting to anyone who genuinely wanted peace.
-Martin Allen describing Hitler's January 1940 peace offer (via the Vatican ambassador) in Himmler's Secret War.

Key documents this author relied on have since been shown to be forgeries, with the author a prime suspect for being the forger: https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2008/m...

Without those fake documents, his more dramatic/sensational claims collapse, and they're so central to his work that it's best to look to other books instead.
