Grips from start to finish . . . Munich captures the mood of the
times: the suspicion and the fear, the political intrigue, the
swagger of the Nazi machine and the widespread elation at the
mistaken belief that war has been averted. Superb.

Harris’s cleverness, judgment and eye for detail are second to none
. . . his research is so impeccable that he could have cut all the
spy stuff and published Munich as a history book. Harris’s
treatment of Britain’s most maligned prime minister is so powerful,
so persuasive, that it ranks among the most moving fictional
portraits of a politician that I have ever read
*Sunday Times*
An intelligent thriller . . . with exacting attention to historical
detail
*The Times, BOOKS OF THE YEAR*
Atmospheric and fast-paced literary thriller . . . [it] grips from
start to finish . . . Superb
*Mail on Sunday*
Unputdownable to the point of being dangerous: the house could have
been on fire while I was reading and I wouldn’t have noticed
