The Refuge (2015)
“Even in the midst of the uproar and the lamentations, fully aware that this was a death-knell, the exploding of a detonator which would quickly set off the main charge, we pursued our affairs within and outside the office with deliberate conscience and sanity, in what looked to have become an insane world.
The full enormity of what was to come in the end was, to many of us, grimly adumbrated in the behaviour of the German Chancellor to Sir Neville Henderson during those last unreal days of peac...e. We had glimpses of a man either whipping his very soul to a frenzy of baseless personal resentment, a bull before the charge, or in the grip of a power which he had conjured up only to find, too late, that he was at its command, not it at his. I believed, then as now, when there has been time to look back, years in which to think again almost soberly, that it was the latter; yet in the later part of the war, just before the invasion of Normandy in strength, a dream came to me which I have never forgotten.MoreLess
