Reader Reviews
An elegantly written, enjoyably readable book about a dangerous and often inelegant time in world history, Richard Cutler presents an inside account of the Allied intelligence systems that contributed to the defeat of Nazi Germany and to confound the ambitions of Stalin's Soviet Union in the post-war period. The author skillfully balances his account of the massive international struggle with the personal experiences and reflections of this intelligent, charming and cultured (and lucky) young man in wartime London, as well as in Wiesbaden and Berlin immediately after the death of Hitler and the German surrender. His portrayals of various individuals, ordinary men and women functioning in extraordinary circumstances, and his thoughts on the role of personal character in the context of mammoth international events are most interesting and revealing of the importance of the individual for good and for ill on all sides of this conflict. He portrays politicians and journalists of the time candidly, warts and all, and the comparisons to our own point in history are cautionary and disturbing. The author served this country and its allies well in wartime and his book serves history just as well. Those interested in the history of WWII, the Cold War, and cloak-and-dagger stories, will, of course, find this book most fascinating. But also those who are interested in travel sagas, theater, personal development and psychology will find this author's observations and reflections to be of value. It is a must-read book.
