"...a though-provoking novel about the experiences of war."
CCBN
Over the course of a single night in 1945, in a ditch by the flickering light of a burning Tiger tank, a young German soldier tells his life story to a wounded Canadian. Growing up in Germany in the 1930s, Dieter has been seduced by the pomp and propaganda of the Nazis. Now, having seen battle and having discovered the evils his countrymen are capable of, the best he can hope for is survival.
"Equal parts philosophical debate and historical fiction, this book, like Wilson's
And in the Morning
, presents a compelling and thoughtful story of war that should appeal to a wide range of readers."
