Most thrillers insult your intelligence; Kerr assaults your ignorance - Esquire Book Description Never before published in the UK: a gripping, masterful alternative history thriller from the author of the Bernie Gunther novels From the Back Cover A gripping alternative history thriller set in the Second World War, from the internationally acclaimed and bestselling author of the Bernie Gunther novels. Autumn 1943. Hitler knows he cannot win the war: now he must find a way to make peace. FDR and Stalin are willing to negotiate; only Churchill refuses to listen. The upcoming Allied Tehran conference will be where the next steps - whatever they are - will be decided. Into this nest of double- and triple-dealing steps Willard Mayer, OSS agent and FDR's envoy to the conference. His job is to secure the peace that the USA and Hitler now crave. The stakes couldn't be higher. Showcasing Philip Kerr's brilliant research and masterful plotting at its best, Hitler's Peace has never before been published in the UK and is a fitting coda to the career of one of the masters of the historical thriller. About the Author Philip Kerr has written over thirty books of which the best-known are the internationally renowned and bestselling Bernie Gunther series. The sixth book in the series, If the Dead Rise Not, won the CWA Historical Dagger. His other works include several standalone thrillers, non-fiction and an acclaimed series for younger readers, The Children of the Lamp. Philip died in March 2018, days before the publication of his 13th Bernie Gunther thriller, Greeks Bearing Gifts. He was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature shortly before his death. ## Images ![Hitler's Peace: gripping alternative history thriller from a global bestseller - Image 1](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/413NwlSUFFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great "What If?" story of World War 2 *by G***H on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 May 2013* Author of the rightly celebrated Bernie Gunther World War II and Cold War novels, Philip Kerr turns to a stand-alone story on the possibility of what might have happened at the conference of "The Big 3" - Stalin, Roosevelt and the junior partner, Church - in 1943 in Teheran. Roosevelt has invited the book's "hero", philosophy professor Willard Mayer to travel to the conference as an interpreter, after having him compile a report on the (then) alleged Soviet massacre of 5,000 Polish soldiers, now buried in Katyn Forest. Along the way, Willard meets various "real" people participating in actual historical events and uncovers what he believes is a conspiracy to assassinate Stalin.The truth, in this tale, is far more explosive. A twist in the book's final chapters will take the thriller reader's breath away.As always, Philip Kerr is spot on with his historical & political background while obviously enjoying a few thoughts of his own.Ultimately, he has produced a fine historical "faction" novel. The turn of events which occurs would stand history on its' head. But what if it really did happen?Some critics have said that the character Willard is difficult to warm to - and thereby miss the whole point of the story.It's not JUST a thriller. It's a mix of historical fact with some philosophising on the nature of how wars are conducted and the lengths to which politicians will go to produce the outcome which is best for their - and one would hope their country's - interests. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The characters are excellent and very real in some cases *by M***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 September 2017* A truly magnificent read. As usual set in an intricate historically correct background, which only adds further richness to the plot. The characters are excellent and very real in some cases. The book has many twists and turns, and to be honest I couldn't put it down. The biggest twist comes towards the end. The plot is both realistic and plausible. This man can write and he doesn't always need Bernie Gunther to do it well. There is still the dry humour and subtle prods at various countries. I would always read another of his books. ### ⭐⭐⭐ This book not as fine as the rest of Philip Kerr's *by G***W on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 August 2016* This book not as fine as the rest of Philip Kerr's. I think the panorama which author tried to effect was too difficult and verisimilitude was lost just a bit. I cannot really say as I was born in 1938 in USA and did not get to Germany until the year before it was reunited and the wall had come down ...but I had a bit of trouble suspending disbelief, as they say today. ALL the rest of Kerr's books are more than terrific, some are masterworks. I would offer this: if you are a writer, read this and learn from a great writer's mistaken plot structure herein. A great writer can teach us something about literature even if he sags just a bit.
