Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Compelling . . . as engaging a read as Stalingrad and Berlin (Guardian)

Fascinating. An intricate, gracefully told and often moving social history of a talented family in times of revolution, civil war, dictatorship and world conflict (Rachel Polonsky New Statesman)

A fascinating spy story, a delicious entertainment, a compelling investigation (Simon Sebag-Montefiore Evening Standard)

An extraordinary drama of exile and espionage (Boyd Tonkin Independent)

Beevor uses the story to evoke a world - the vague ideological borderlands of Nazism and Communism (Felipe Fernández-Armesto The Times)

Reseña del editor:

This book, based largely on new material, is a spin off from Berlin: The Downfall 1945. Antony Beevor has put together from many sources a fascinating account of a Russo-German family. Several members are trapped in Hitler's Berlin as the Red Army fights its way in at the end of April 1945. The rest of their relatives in Moscow are half-expecting to be arrested by the NKVD secret police at any moment because their niece appeared in photographs with Hitler and members of his entourage. It is an extraordinary story from extraordinary times.
