false 627614 10 Bulgaria, 1934. A young man is murdered by the local fascists. His brother, Khristo Stoianev, is recruited into the NKVD, the Soviet secret intelligence service, and sent to Spain to serve in its civil war. Warned that he is about to become a victim of Stalin’s purges, Khristo flees to Paris. Night Soldiers masterfully re-creates the European world of 1934–45: the struggle between Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia for Eastern Europe, the last desperate gaiety of the beau monde in 1937 Paris, and guerrilla operations with the French underground in 1944. Night Soldiers is a scrupulously researched panoramic novel, a work on a grand scale. 810894 1988 Night Soldiers total:362|5:117|4:162|3:67|2:10|1:6| 362 1460 569 54 4 2 false false Tue Jun 24 20:32:36 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 24 20:37:28 -0700 2008
