Thomas Wiseman : The Day Before Sunrise before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised The Day Before Sunrise:

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Setting the stage for the Cold WarBy Andrew W. JohnsI really enjoyed this book. I've read a number of WWII era spy thrillers, but never one that took place this late in the war. The author does a terrific job of describing the absolute destruction of the German infrastructure and the collapse of both morale and order as the allied forces closed in on Berlin. This is an eye-opening description of the consequences of Hitler's decision to fight to bitter end.In addition, the author also shows how the events of the closing weeks of the war helped to set the stage for the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States. His description of the efforts of Allen Dulles at minimizing the territorial gains of the Soviets, and the resulting compromises that need to be made with the Germans to facilitate these goals is enlightening. Its interesting to note that, in many ways, the Cold War really began during WWII, when the US and the USSR were still officially allies against Germany.This book was a fast read, and while it doesn't really explore any philosophical issues very deeply, it does help put the waning days of the war in Europe into some historical perspective. Over all, I thought it was a pretty good book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Best book award, please!By M. ColvinI loved this book!!

The best world war II thriller yet!By A CustomerAs a self appointed WWII buff and historian i find Thomas Wisemans Novel/HistoryThe Day before Sunrise probably the best combination of history andNovel type thrills I have ever read. Mr Wiseman conveys such realism in his style that at times I actually could smell and feel the bombed out and hased feel of Berlin in it's death throws. The writing style and character development would make Michner jealous. If you would really like to be truly transported to Berlin in early 1945 than this is th ticket. I can say no more other than it's time to take a ride. Peter Guzzo [email protected]

April 1945 mdash; the last act of the warhellip; The Allied stranglehold on Berlin is tightening by the day, as the escape corridor to the Bavarian Alps and the Swiss border is narrowing. In the maze of ruins that Berlin has become, a man of appalling ingenuity, with a ruthless sense of self-preservation, contrives his escape. He is the secret policeman Ernst Schouml;ller. In his shabby, shiny suit with its sagging pockets, he is not immediately recognizable as someone of importance, but as the Reich Special Investigator he has long been checking up on the highest in the land, and there is nothing he doesnrsquo;t know. Using his position of knowledge, he begins to bargain for his life with the Allies. The man with whom the bargain must be made is Allen Welsh Dulles, chief of the O.S.S. in Switzerland and President Rooseveltrsquo;s personal representative. With chilling pragmatism, he sees that the longer the German surrender is delayed the deeper the Communist penetration of Europe will be. In order to stop Titorsquo;s seizure of Trieste, he is ready to talk to the devil himself. Schouml;ller and Dulles, both professionals and practical men, arrive at an arrangement of expediency in Berne. lsquo;A first-class political thriller, at once literate, provocative and excitingrsquo; ndash; The Sunday Telegraph lsquo;Blends fact and fiction in such a way that you really canrsquo;t see the join. The final irony is profound indeed.rsquo; - Sunday Times lsquo;Very convincingrsquo; - Providing an accurate reconstruction of real life events, The Day Before Sunrise is a masterly piece of story-telling, recreating in minute detail the terrible last days of the Third Reich. Thomas Wiseman was born in in 1931 and came to at the age of seven. He was a columnist on the Evening Standard from 1953 until 1961, when he became film critic for the Sunday Express.
