Munich is a 2017 historical novel by English writer Robert Harris.^[1] The novel is set in September 1938 over four days in the context of the Munich Agreement.^[2] The two main characters, both fictional, are Hugh Legat, private secretary to Neville Chamberlain, and Paul Hartmann, a German junior diplomat and member of an anti-Hitler group. Legat and Hartmann are friends from their student days at Balliol College, Oxford University.^[1] On 21 September 2017, an article in the Evening Standard asserted that the Paul Hartmann character was based on Adam von Trott zu Solz.^[3] Hartmann, like von Trott zu Solz, is executed by hanging as a member of an anti-Nazi conspiracy during World War II. His fictional counterpart Legat dies many years later as an honoured civil servant.^[4]

Film adaptation

Munich was made into a 2021 German/British drama film for Netflix.^[5]
