Robert Harris is an English writer who gained worldwide fame for his historical detective stories "Munich", "Conclave", "The Officer and the Spy" and others. Films based on his works have become movie bestsellers. The year is 1938. Germany is not ready for war, but Hitler intends to take over Czechoslovakia. Great Britain is not ready for war, but it is obliged to stand together with France in defense of the Czechs. Prime Minister Chamberlain is trying to get Hitler to agree to a meeting, hoping to reach a compromise. Hugh Legate is a rising star of British diplomacy, Chamberlain's personal secretary. Paul von Hartmann is an employee of the German Foreign Ministry and a participant in the anti—Hitler conspiracy. These people were friends when they studied at Oxford in the 1920s, but have had no contact since. And now they have a meeting in Munich. One goes there to prevent a new world war at any cost, the other to unleash it immediately.
