Publisher's Synopsis
This book spans the most terrible period of German history, focusing on the figure of Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord (1878-1943), the General who took control of the army in 1930 and who retired after Hitler revealed his plans at a secret meeting in 1933. After investigating all the sources within his reach, the author offers us the result in a genre he dominates like nobody else, the documentary novel. We find ourselves before an especially complex work, a collage in which the documentary source does not always have the last word, as the author takes the liberty of getting closer to the historical reality through fiction.
