Book Review: 456 pages of excellent storytelling
Summary: 5 Stars
Taking history and melding it with fiction, and making it highly readable takes talent. Everything is in this book.
Furst crosses 11 years (1934 to 1945), has characters move in and out of the narrative as well as have a panoramic/epic show going on at the same time, and never for a moment does the story seem thin--actually it's thick with thoughts, intentions, hopes and dreams of the characters, and their utter and dire knowledge that the whole of Europe is going to go right down the path of total destruction. Also, I must mention the humor. The chuckle is there, right after the sadness or the disaster.
Traveling from Bulgaria to Moscow, from Stalinist Russia to a Spain steeped in civil war, Furst offers Bolshevists, the NKVD, defenders of the Republic, partisans, and on and on. There is common crime and the common war, political satire and the poignancy of a common death.
Reading Night Soldiers makes you want more.
