From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. Furst (The Foreign Correspondent) solidifies his status as a master of historical spy fiction with this compelling thriller set in 1937 Poland. Col. Jean-François Mercier, a military attaché at the French embassy in Warsaw who runs a network of spies, plays a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with his German adversaries. When one of Mercier's main agents, Edvard Uhl, an engineer at a large Düsseldorf arms manufacturer who's been a valuable source on the Nazis' new weapons, becomes concerned that the Gestapo is on to him, Mercier initially dismisses Uhl's fears. Mercier soon realizes that the risk to his spy is genuine, and he's forced to scramble to save Uhl's life. The colonel himself later takes to the field when he hears reports that the German army is conducting maneuvers in forested terrain. Even readers familiar with the Germans' attack through the Ardennes in 1940 will find the plot suspenseful. As ever, Furst excels at creating plausible characters and in conveying the mostly tedious routines of real espionage. Author tour. (June)

Pressestimmen

“Entertaining from first page to last . . . [Alan] Furst is that rarity, a writer of popular fiction who is also a serious novelist.”—Washington Post Book World

“Teeming with intrigue . . . Furst’s novels of World War II Europe are not just atmospheric. They’re transporting.”—Atlanta Journal-Constitution

3.0 von 5 Sternen The Coming Storm of World War II from a French Spy's Perspective, 5. August 2008

Von	Professor Donald Mitchell "Jesus Makes Me a P... (Boston) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

Diese Rezension stammt von: The Spies of Warsaw: A Novel (Gebundene Ausgabe)

Prior to World War II, most people either thought that Hitler and his generals were intent on world domination based on using any tool available or that these were reasonable people who could be persuaded to go elsewhere if you cut a deal with them. In between those views were the French, who thought that their Maginot Line could stop the Germans at the border in any future European war. Those who bet that Hitler and his generals were serious were right.

This book examines those perspectives from the vantage point of the Western spies operating in Warsaw in 1937 and 1938. The fictional Colonel Jean-Francois Mercier steals enough secrets to come to the right conclusion about what France faces. In the process, you learn a lot about spy tradecraft in that era and how the various countries oriented to one another.

The book has an oddly cold tone, as though this story was written in an attempt to keep out emotion, patriotism, and strong feelings of any kind. As a result, the plot, although interesting, failed to engage me into the story. I felt like I was reading a light, nonfiction magazine article about pre-World War II espionage instead.

For a reading public that likes to exalt the importance and impact of espionage, this story is a sort of anti-story . . . suggesting that perhaps espionage was then more a game than serious business.

To me, the best parts of the book were those that attempted to capture tradecraft in that era. Those were well done.

Unlike many spy stories where the ending is up in the air . . . due to an optional, fictitious result, The Spies of Warsaw ends up being a bit too predictable in leading up to the well-known events of 1939 and 1940.

4.0 von 5 Sternen Warsaw and Paris vs. Berlin, 13. September 2009

Von	Detlef 1928 "Detlef L�hrsen" (M�nchen) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen

Diese Rezension stammt von: Spies of Warsaw (Taschenbuch)

Spies of Warsaw

The years of 1938 and 1939, after Hitler's onslaught on Czechoslovakia and the Memel area were crucial years for Poland and, as it turned out, for world peace. After her foreign minister, J�zef Beck, as early as 1932 unsuccessfully tried to win over France for a preemptive strike of Poland against Germany, and Hitler, in early 1939, was deaf to any Polish entreaties to regularise the relationship between the two countries, the political situation was set for war. The British guarantee for Poland did nothing to assuage the attitudes of the two countries bent on war, with Poland as a weak potential victim of potential German aggression.

This is the setting for Alan Furst's novel. It's hero is French military attach� and spy master, Mercier, his ally and Polish spy master Vyborg, dominating a German businessman from Silesia, Uhl, who is in possession of military secrets from Germany and willing to betray his fatherland turned Nazi. The spy game they play is masterly described and there is a lot of suspense in their actions. It would not be a Furst novel if not into the fabric of serious spying business were woven some lighter strains of humour and erotic dallying. It is thus neither as serious as the historical circumstances would imply nor as lightweight as the genre of spy novel may demand, a great read.
