Description
A Small Town in Germany A Novel by John le Carré is set against the backdrop of Cold War paranoia and political compromise. When a British embassy official goes missing with confidential files, London sends an investigator to control the damage. As tensions rise between Britain and its European allies, it becomes clear that neither side wants the truth to come out. The novel chronicles the complex web of alliances and rivalries that defined the era, as Germany teeters on the brink of reunification and a German-Soviet alliance takes shape. With an introduction by the author, this superb chronicle offers a gripping portrayal of espionage and politics in the shadows. John le Carré's masterful storytelling brings to life the intricate world of Cold War intrigue, where appearances can be deceiving and loyalty is a luxury few can afford.
