In the early 1930s, a group of young, queer British MPs visited Berlin on a series of trips that would change the course of the Second World War.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHaving witnessed the Nazis' brutality first-hand, these men were some of the first to warn Britain about Hitler, repeatedly speaking out against their government's policy of appeasing him. Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain hated them. Branding them 'the glamour boys' to insinuate something untoward about them, he had their phones tapped and threatened them with deselection and exposure.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAt a time when even the suggestion of homosexuality could land you in prison, the bravery these men were forced to show in their personal lives gave them extraordinary courage in public. Undaunted, they refused to be silenced and when war came, they enlisted. Four of them died in action. And without them, Britain would never have faced down the Nazis.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eA Guardian Book of Autumn 2020\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePublished: 2020\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCategory: History, MIlitary\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePages: 235\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDimensions: 232 x 155 mm\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #f51313;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: \u003c\/strong\u003eRemaindered books or remainders are printed books that are over stocks and are sold at reduced prices.
