Produktbeschreibung
In late 1937, our loquacious and unreliable narrator, Kurtis De'ath returns to Germany, where he prepares for a trip with Joachim von Ribbentrop, German Foreign Minister, to Moscow. On his own with orders from Adolf Hitler (and Sir Joseph Ball), Kurtis probes the unspeakable secrets of the Holodomor, the man-made, deliberate starvation of four million men, women, and children in the Ukraine. He matches wits with the NKVD and Stalin himself. As the Nazis annexe Austria and Joseph Chamberlain tries to avoid war, it is Kurtis who shines a light on the darkest secrets on all sides as the slide into open conflict continues. Set in multiple locales in Canada, America, France, Germany, and England, before the Second World War, Volume Three of The Reflecting Man is the antic, ribald journey of a loquacious and unreliable narrator, Kurtis De'ath, from the Maritimes in Canada, whose unusual talents lead him into the innermost circles of Hitler's Third Reich and Churchill's British government. Kurtis' journey through the roots and branches of actual historical figures and events is, at its heart, in meticulous detail, an examination of how Europe went to war in 1939. The Reflecting Man is himself a reflection of his times. The novel is widely and deeply researched, employing hundreds of non-fiction accounts, journals, and diaries of actual participants and observers of the darkening clouds over Europe and the descent into war.
