Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. Jacket by Brian Russell Ilustrador. 1st Edition.

They have no victories to celebrate, but they've elevated to a mystique the desperate comradeship of their last days in Hitler's army. It gradually becomes apparent that more than this binds them. From the major industrialist to the minor thug in the group, the memory of one of their, last acts together during the war keeps them to-together. It transcended the brutalities of battle. A teenage prostitute, evidently a willing one, had nevertheless been killed and the murder framed on an unpopular comrade whose death had been engineered. Some of them know or guess all the details. However, when the supposedly dead soldier turns up alive, the reaction goes from comic fear to savage guilt. Kirst shows how each character responds to the impact of guilt renewed and how the disintegration of the group subtracts from individual identity. Hans Hellmut Kirst (1914-89), was a distinguished German novelist and the author of over forty thrillers, including 'Night of the Generals' which was made into a film. Quite a scarce book.
