The War Widow is the story of the Nuremburg trails so one
wouldn't expect the ending to be a surprise, but it is. Mr. Durham has woven multiple threads of
intrigue into his finely executed version of a familiar piece of history. His knowledge and expression of military life
propels the reader right into the scene and the character development is top
notch from his handling of Herrmann Goering to the despicable Colonel
Gaffner. The reader feels as though he's
known these people all his life. The
prose is compelling, the pace brisk and, as I said, the ending jerks the rug
out from under you.
