In an overgrown industrial area of wartime Munich, 27 children hide from the Gestapo scared and hungry. Their parents have been sent to concentration camps and they have nowhere else to go.
Teacher Claudia Kellner discovers the group when she first takes in two homeless victims, risking her own safety by giving them shelter.
Meanwhile, Commando Peter Chesham, a spy working for the British, succeeds in entering Third Reich territory. But his top secret mission is threatened when he discovers the hiding place of the orphans.
If he continues with his mission it will have fatal consequences for everyone around him, but if he doesn't, the Nazis could win the war. Peter faces the agonising dilemma; obey orders or save the children.
Will he lead the ultimate escape operation or complete the task he has been given?
What he decides could determine the fate of history...
Based on true events The Fuhrer's Orphans is a powerful and moving novel set during the Second World War and is perfect for fans of Heather Morris and Robert Harris.

Notă biografică
David Laws is a national newspaper journalist who has written two thrillers, Munich The Man Who Said No! and Exit Day, with a third novel on the way ¿ this last has just won the Yeovil Literary Prize. The Munich story tells of a woman¿s search for her missing grandfather while Exit Day has an assassin stalking Britain¿s Prime Minister. David loves great adventures and mysteries and avidly follows the work of authors like Robert Harris, Robert Goddard, Philip Kerr and Ken Follett. He always invests heavily in research for the background to his novels and bases the characters close to his Suffolk home at Bury St Edmunds. As a journalist he has conducted interviews with celebrities such as Jack Higgins, Marti Caine, Robert Ludlum and Leo Kessler. When not working as a reporter or sub-editor on newspapers and magazines, he¿s tried his hand at driving buses and trains, flying gliders, selling glassware, delivering bread... and some very reluctant soldiering.
