'A thoroughly gripping and mesmerising work of black comedy and political disaster' Guardian
Winner of the 2017 Prix Goncourt Éric Vuillard’s gripping novel The Order of the Day tells the story of the pivotal meetings which took place between the European powers in the run-up to World War Two. What emerges is a fascinating and incredibly moving account of failed diplomacy, broken relationships, and the catastrophic momentum which led to conflict.
The titans of German industry – set to prosper under the Nazi government – gather to lend their support to Adolf Hitler. The Austrian Chancellor realizes too late that he has wandered into a trap, as Hitler delivers the ultimatum that will lay the groundwork for Germany’s annexation of Austria. Winston Churchill joins Neville Chamberlain for a farewell luncheon held in honour of Joachim von Ribbentrop: German Ambassador to England, soon to be Foreign Minister in the Nazi government, and future defendant at the Nuremberg trials.
Suffused with dramatic tension, this unforgettable novel tells the tragic story of how the actions of a few powerful men brought the world to the brink of war.

Horrifying reminder on what we people can do to one and other. Some things can never ever be forgotten or forgiven, like crime against humanity.

Det rena slaveriet i dagens globaliserade värld är mer omfattande än någonsin förr. Och världen gjorde inte upp med nazismen. Och samma företagskoncerner som profiterade på koncentrationslägrenas slavarbetare sitter kvar i orubbat bo av ofantlig förmögenhet. De gav motvilligt en spottstyver till de överlevande i "kompensation" efter kriget. Krupp-koncernen har t o m kvar sitt huvudkontor i Essen, förtäljer denna bok, på en sådan beskt giftig prosa, som sådana koncerner förtjänar."The 24 men, all around that table. . .It seems like any meeting of business leaders. . .the basic style hasn't changed much."
