A Masterful Piece of Work





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.
