About this item:

In July 1940, Walter Schellenberg of the German Secret Service drew up a list of 2,694 people believed to be living in Britain, who were known enemies of the Reich. In that month, the Wehrmacht was poised across the Channel ready to hit Britain with blitzkrieg, the terrible and hugely successful tactic that had already overwhelmed Poland, Denmark, Norway, Holland, Luxembourg, Belgium and France.

The names on Schellenberg's list represent the heart and soul of a nation that made the British what they were but the list also includes a diaspora from Europe - the intellectuals, politicians and writers who had been driven out of their own homelands by the speed of the German conquests. All human life is there - lives that were, to the Nazis, unworthy of life.

Historians have found the list a curiosity. Surely, it cannot be real? It was. The Black Book is the first book to evaluate the list, and look at the chilling reality of what Hitler had in store for the nation.

Very minor issue, the book cover was folded slightly

5.0 out of 5 stars Enlightening

B. · 17 January 2020

Only read one chapter as I write this review, but, extremely informative and enlightening. A bit too much name dropping, being introduced to innumerable people, so often difficult to follow. However, takes a chronological narrative. Great for war or history buffs. Features a lot of the politics and the reason certain events/decisions were made. The Black Book informs us of people in Great Britain on Hitler's Hit list who posed a threat to the regime.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as expected

K.J. · 13 December 2020

It simply does not meet the expectation given by the blurb. It does not contain the plans for what would have happened if we had lost the war. It does not contain a copy of the list.
