    <body><![CDATA[Alan Furst is a genre master, historical spy novels set in the 30s and early 40s, whose sense of history comes from Tolstoy and understanding of the scale of human drama comes from the short stories of Chekov and Joyce. Furst’s novels are compact. The action occurs on the margins of great events. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/25743200">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Alan Furst is one of the best writers of spy novels going. I wouldn’t rank this one among his best, but it was very good.  Like all of Furst’s books, it derives poignancy from the hindsight that, despite the best efforts of the protagonist, interwar Europe was doomed.<br/><br/>The protagonist,...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/25417150">more...</a>]]></body>
