It was Jonah Barrington in the Daily Express who coined the name "Lord Haw-Haw", by which William Joyce became known worldwide during his notorious broadcasts from Germany during the war. The propaganda programme, Germany Calling, started on 18 September 1939 and continued until 30 April 1945, when the British Army overran Hamburg. Joyce was hanged as a traitor in Wandsworth Prison in January 1946. Nigel Farndale presents a compelling and disturbing portrait of a traitor, drunkard, womaniser, brawler and unashamed anti-Semite, while exposing the truth behind his very public trial.
