FREE WINTER: THE TRAGIC STORY OF A BERLIN FAMILY, 1899-1945 PDF Len Deighton | 592 pages | 18 Jun 2015 | HarperCollins Publishers | 9780008124885 | English | London, United Kingdom - Winter: a Berlin Family, ? Samson by Deighton, Len - AbeBooks If you are interested in reading the Bernard Samson series then read Winter in its rightful place: fourth. The book is brilliant. It is the best book in the Samson saga although the masterful Spy Sinker comes close. Winter is very rewarding if you have read the preceding Samson stories. Certain influential characters from the trilogies have walk-on roles, giving you an idea of how they start out. The story begins at the turn of the 20th century with the birth of a second son to Harold Winter, a German businessman. Winter is the story of the two brothers, with the focus on the younger son Paul. You follow their experiences as they grow up, through the first World War, the inter-war years and the second World War. The eldest son, Peter, has an artistic streak and goes to work in the company firm. One of the special aspects of this story is how it depicts the rise of the Nazis and how the German people turned to their political point of view. It is very unsettling seeing how the treatment of Jews moved from persecution to extermination and how the Nazi leadership seized control, stamping out any sign Winter: The Tragic Story of a Berlin Family dissent. A strength of the book is how you can like the character of Paul and be sympathetic towards him yet you are increasingly appalled by his actions and attitudes. The Russian invasion of Germany was carried out without mercy. This is also highlighted in Field Grey by Philip Kerr. A word about the narration: the book is 1899-1945 by the same narrator as all the other Bernard Samson novels so you are listening to a voice you are 1899- 1945 familiar with. He does the job well, as professionally as ever. I could understand how some listeners might not be able to get over this stylistic hurdle, although I can see why the decision was made to present the narration in this way.

Seller Inventory MB. Ships from the UK. Condition: Very Good. Winter takes us into a large and complex family drama, 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, from the Kaiser's heyday through Hitler's rise and fall. A novel that rings powerfully true, a rich and remarkable portrait of 1899-1945 in the first half of the twentieth century. 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.
