Summary
Acclaimed author and historian Alan Furst has written several historical fiction novels, such as Blood of Victory and Kingdom of Shadows. In Dark Star, André Szara is a Polish journalist who becomes a spy for the Soviet Union in the late 1930s. Through Szara’s character, the beginnings of World War II are revealed.

Some of the events Szara sees are harsh and unforgettable. While working in Austria, he sees Hitler and his army march into Vienna and drag Jews into the streets, humiliating and beating them—often to death. Szara turns to drinking to help numb much of his pain as he finds a reliable confidant in Germany who is willing to give him undisclosed information about the war.

The narration was good, I felt compassion, and at times anger, and loathing for the cruelty of certain characters. The detail of the story line was exceptional and made me realise we honestly did not grasp the intensity of the run up to 2WW and the lives touched, and destroyed.Thoroughly enjoyed!
