I've known Andrew Lownie for nearly 30 years, and sensationalist is about the last thing he is, so you can absolutely bank on this book being sound.

As you say he's solid, Louis, then that's good enough for me. 👌

I read Traitor King and was immediately struck by his style of writing, which is entirely lacking in sensationalism to the extent that it's possible to gloss over some of the most alarming bits. " Saw decorator re dining room. Tea and buns with The Hitlers. Drafts chapter 7 again. Retd at 11."
