In this audiobook, Ian Kershaw delves into the life of Charles Stewart Henry Vane-Tempest-Stewart, the 7th Marquess of Londonderry, an aristocrat entangled in the early political landscape leading up to World War II. Despite his powerful connections and vast wealth, Londonderry's reputation suffered greatly due to his support for Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, marking him as a scapegoat for a controversial stance that resonated with others in the elite circles of his time.
