listen of the year
Great story; great narrator not a lot else needs to be said in twenty words...
Sex, Entrapment and Escape
This is a great book like all fiction, there are many elements of historical reality .
The battle at the British Embassy in Berlin between diplomats who could see what was coming in late 1938 and early 1939 and those who like the government they represent chose to ignore the evidence in a desperate effort to avoid war with the German's and a replay of the carnage of the 1914-1918 campaign.
In Midnight in Berlin, the new military attache, Noel McRae comes across a Gestapo run house of pleasure during an outing for intelligence. A couple of days a few days he sees one of the women from the salon, Sara a Jew who is being held hostage as a sex slave to ensure the compliance of her twin brother and mother who are captives at the mercy of the Nazi regime.
Although the book is a work of fiction. Like most good works there are many facts that are true, indeed many of the characters portrayed in the book including the ambassador, Sir Neville Henderson were actually in pod at at the time.
This audiobook is a compelling listen, with great narration it flows easily. I would recommend it
A brilliant fast paced listen
Absolutely loved this book, the narrator was perfect and there was nothing I did not like about it.
A interesting story which will have you gripped from the start, hindsight is a wonderful thing but despite what transpired it is hard to listen to the blinkered and idiotic reactions of the British government and some of their staff.
The main characters are complex, often hugely flawed and fighting to be heard in a world that doesn't want to listen. Highly recommend.
Brink of war masterpiece
This is a truly fantastic book. A gripping story wrapped around the events leading up to the second world war in Nazi Berlin. The characters are very well written. The Berlin of 1939 is so vivid with the writing. Really really worth a listen. Essential for anyone interested in this point in history. As an Englishman, a certain amount of shame also.
Top notch performance from Peter Noble. One of the best books I have downloaded in three years. Five stars.
