Katastrophe

Więcej o książce

Set against the final stages of the Second World War, this gripping thriller unfolds in January 1945, as the Thousand Year Reich collapses and an Allied victory looms. Werner Nehmann, once a confidant of Goebbels, faces a new reality after his capture in Stalingrad. Now, riding on a T-34 tank with the Red Army, he carries a crucial message for Goebbels, who is desperate to maintain his influence as the Soviets close in on Berlin. With Stalin fearing betrayal from his allies, Nehmann finds himself navigating a treacherous landscape where his past alliances and current circumstances collide. Swapping the ruins of Stalingrad for Berlin's wreckage, he experiences a dramatic shift from Goebbels' influence to Stalin's machinations, all while donning a Red Army uniform. This transformation encapsulates the chaos of war, aptly described by the German term "Katastrophe." Part of the SPOILS OF WAR Collection, this story blends fact and fiction, drawing from the most tragic and suspenseful events of World War II. Acclaimed author Graham Hurley crafts a non-chronological narrative that invites readers to explore his masterful storytelling in any order, featuring compelling characters whose fragmented lives reflect the global turmoil of the era.
