While we're at it, let's not forget Robert Harris' excellent Fatherland. (Which technically isn't about WWII, I guess, being set in an alternate universe 1964, in which Germany won WWII. Still, it's a detective story, it has a swastika on the cover and it seems pretty WWII-ish to me.*) When it came out, I remember buying it at lunchtime and finishing it in the wee hours of the morning, it's that good. It's still on my bookshelf, long after most other paperbacks have rotated out. While I haven't read Enigma or Archangel, Harris' Pompeii is very good; I'm waiting for Imperium to come out in paperback.
*If that sort of thing is your cup of tea, you can't beat Philip K. Dick's The Man in the High Castle. Much of which seems oddly prescient now... |
