Description

Alone in Berlin is a gripping wartime thriller that tells the story of a quiet resistance movement in Nazi-occupied Berlin. When the Quangels receive news of their son's death, they are shocked out of their ordinary existence and begin a silent campaign of defiance against the oppressive regime.

Their actions set off a deadly game of cat and mouse with the ambitious Gestapo inspector Escherich, who will stop at nothing to crush the resistance. As the stakes rise, deception, betrayal, and murder ensue, drawing in petty criminals Kluge and Borkhausen.

This Penguin Classics edition includes an afterword by Geoff Wilkes and facsimiles of the original Gestapo file that inspired the novel, offering a unique glimpse into the events that shaped this powerful and thought-provoking story.
