I have read a number of historical fiction books about the end of the war and this is one of the better one. I liked the story line; it is believable once you get into the book. The author spent some time developing the plot and because of that you start to believe it. An interesting group of main characters fills out the book so that the pages really fly past you. This is a good effort by this author. If you liked this then I would suggest you look at Fatherland by Robert Harris.
