Book summaryA well-known American journalist travels to Germany to write about the Allied occupation--and also to find the German woman with whom he had an affair before the war began. In war-ravaged Berlin, he finds more than he expected, including a murdered American soldier and a stunning level of postwar corruption that is inextricably mixed with the American and Russian rocket projects. A New York Times Notable Book for 2001. Media reviews"The mystery takes on the weight of the deepest questions of right and wrong as the novel's action moves through a ravaged Berlin so exactly depicted that one feels Kanon must have traveled in time to witness this landscape himself....Even with its occasional lapses, THE GOOD GERMAN is thoroughly captivating, a novel that brings to life the ambiguities at the heart of our country's moral legacy." |
