 David Faber CV at PFD
SPEAKING FOR ENGLAND is the extraordinary true story of an English political tragedy: the bizarre tale of how the son of a member of Churchill's wartime Cabinet was hanged for treason -- one of the last British citizens to suffer that fate.
John Amery had been born into a life of privilege, if not luxury -- his father Leo was a prominent Conservative MP and minister, and his brother Julian also went on to a political career of his own.
Focusing on the fascinating lives of this father and his two sons, and how they were affected by John's inexorable demise, David Faber has constructed a riveting and deeply moving account of the tragedy of an English political family.

Amery and Joyce were broadcasters together in Berlin, but they argued over the nature of effective propaganda.
For Amery, the Jewish-Bolshevik enemy was a single category, yet his father (Leo Amery, privately Jewish) had helped to draft the pro-Zionist Balfour Declaration of 1917.
Amery was too self-deceiving to realise that his propaganda was not what he did but the fact of his presence, a dissolute Englishman with a famous name (the Nazis kept him at the best hotels and took him around most of Europe).
