Winter is the epic, sprawling tale of one German dynasty during two world wars. It takes us into the lives of two German brothers, both born close upon the turn of the century, both so caught up in the currents of history that their story is one with the story of their country, f...rom the Kaiser's heyday through Hitler's rise and fall. In his portrait of a Berlin family during the turbulent years of the first half of the century, Len Deighton has created a compelling study of the rise of Nazi Germany. It is a novel that rings powerfully true, a rich and remarkable portrait of Germany in the first half of the twentieth century, and a prelude to Deighton's classic spy trilogy, Berlin Game, Mexico Set and London Match. With its meticulous research, rich detail and brilliantly drawn cast of characters, Winter is a superbly realized achievement.
