Description

Bulgaria, 1934. A young man is murdered by the local fascists. His brother, Khristo Stoianev, is recruited into the NKVD, the Soviet secret intelligence service, and sent to Spain to serve in its civil war. Warned that he is about to become a victim of Stalin’s purges, Khristo flees to Paris. Night Soldiers masterfully re-creates
the European world of 1934–45: the struggle between Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia for Eastern Europe, the last desperate gaiety of the beau monde in 1937 Paris, and guerrilla operations with the French underground in 1944. Night Soldiers is a scrupulously researched panoramic novel, a work on a grand scale.

Reviews

  • Great mix of espionage and historical fiction

    By Good and Bad
    Durst takes the reader from a small town in Bulgaria, where the protagonist, Khriso, watches his country die through a thousand small submissions, to NKVD training in Moscow, where he learns the trade craft he will eventually use to hide from his trainers. From the Spanish Civil War to WWII France, Durst and Khristo keep us on the edge of our seats. A great read for fans of the spy genre and for history buffs.
