5.0 out of 5 stars Winter, 14 Feb 2005
By Peter Thornton (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Winter: A Novel of a Berlin Family (Mass Market Paperback)
This is one of the best books that I have ever read. It traces the history of a German family in Berlin from the turn of the century (1900) to the very early post war years. It takes in both WW1 and WW2. In my opinion what makes this book so good is the way that it helps to illustrate what it was that made so many German people support the two wars.

If you have an interest in the history and causes of WW2 then this book would be an excellent addition to your collection. It is well researched and also very well written, which is why I give it 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tale of a typical rich Berlin family during the 20th century, 7 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Winter: A Berlin Family, 1899-1945 (Paperback)
This is probably Deighton's very finest novels. telling the story of a berlin family through the troubled times of the 20th century and the introduction of Facism into europe. Compelling to read and exciting throughout. Anyone who still wonderes why the german people turned to the nazis in there millions will find the answer in these pages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awsome, well researched, extremely realistic., 29 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Winter: A Berlin Family, 1899-1945 (Paperback)
I read this book in the German translation 'Treu und Glauben'. It is a fascinating story. It is fiction, yet it is full of historic facts. As a person who has lived part of his life during the period in question, I was truly overwhelmed.
