Ucrania 1943, los ejércitos del III Reich preparan una importante ofensiva que pueda cambiar el curso de la guerra. Al comandante Martin Bora, oficial del servicio de inteligencia alemán, le encomiendan interrogar al general ruso Platonov, que ha caído prisionero, pero no logra arrancarle ninguna información de valor. Su actitud cambia cuando su amigo Khan Tibyetskji, una vieja gloria de la Revolución soviética, abandona el Ejército Rojo y se entrega a los alemanes. Pero en menos de veinticuatro horas, ambos oficiales soviéticos aparecen muertos. El informe oficial alemán sostiene que el primero murió de forma natural y el segundo se suicidó; mientras que la propaganda estalinista presume de haberlos ejecutado por desertores. A Bora no le convence ninguna versión y decide averiguar qué esconden estas muertes. Una investigación que le adentrará por sendas tan inciertas y peligrosas como las de un misterioso bosque cercano en el que se producen misteriosas desapariciones. Slow-moving but satisfying. Bora, the Wehrmacht officer is in Ukraine after Stalingrad but before Kursk as an interrogator. He investigates the deaths of two Russian officers, one a prisoner, the other a defector. Also connected are a massacre of civilians in a ravine, Krasny Yar and one of Bora's own relatives, of an older generation. Much is a character study of how the conflicted Bora is torn between devotion to duty and his own moral compass shown through entries in his diary and in different incidents. Highly recommended. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

FOURTH IN THE MARTIN BORA SERIES. SPELLBINDING MULTI-LAYERED CRIME NOVEL SET IN UKRAINE AS THE GERMANS REGROUP AFTER THE DISASTER OF STALINGRAD. FOR FANS OF PHILLIP KERR (BERNIE GUNTHER SERIES), ALAN FURST (SPIES OF THE BALKANS). THE HERO, MAJOR MARTIN BORA, IS AN ARISTOCRATIC GERMAN OFFICER OF THE ILK OF CLAUS VON STAUFFENBERG, TORN BETWEEN HIS DUTY AS AN OFFICER AND HIS INTEGRITY AS A HUMAN BEING. Ukraine, 1943. Having barely escaped the inferno of Stalingrad, Major Martin Bora is serving on the Russian front as a German counterintelligence officer. Weariness, disillusionment, and battle fatigue are a soldier's daily fare, yet Bora seems to be one of the few whose sanity is not marred by the horrors of war. As the Wehrmacht prepare for the Kursk counter-offensive, a Russian general defects aboard a T-34, the most advanced tank of the war. Soon he and another general, this one previously captured, are found dead in their cells. Everything appears to exclude the likelihood of foul play, but Bora begins an investigation, in a stubborn attempt to solve a mystery that will come much too close to home.
