A great book by a great writer. Deighton is thoroughly knowledgable about his story location Berlin, it's social history of the period and it's recovery in the aftermath of ww2. The book also forms the foundation of his following novel series featuring his fictional superb character Bernard Samson.

Len Deighton's great story of the Winter's , a German family from the turn of the century through to the end of World War Two. This story takes in the political undertones that led up to & started the first World War , with the two sons accounts of harrowing lives lived during trench warfare & early dirigible aviation , the rise of the Nazis as they murder their way to be the dominant party & through to their demise , & how the Winter families fortunes inertwine with these world events & more. This book although a stand alone story leads in to the Bernard Samson espionage series of nine books which are are also a must read!! I have really enjoyed reading this epic & would thoughly recommend this to any avid reader!!
