Description: SECOND WORLD WAR. The Traitors is a bold and gripping work that tells of British treachery during the Second World War through the prism of the lives of four men: the chaotic, tragic John Amery; the idealistic but hate-filled William Joyce; the cynical, murderous conman Harold Cole; and Eric Pleasants, an iron-willed former wrestler and circus strongman, and pacifist. By the end of the Second World War, each of these men will have betrayed their country. The Traitors is the story of how they came to do so.
