I've read and heard a lot

Top Book Club action today with one of the best writers out there. Robert Harris, our other favourite Bob Harris, is back with a return to the Germany of the 1930s. 'Munich' is an account of the events surrounding the 1938 crisis with PM Chamberlain flying to Germany in a desperate bid to stop imminent war.
