Officers aren't born--they're carefully molded. In Nazi Germany this training took place in a horrific "factory," where the men received both military and ideological indoctrination, preparing them to fight successfully for the fatherland. When a murder occurs in the school, however, underlying tensions begin to surface. Another unforgettable novel by the world-renowned author of Night of the Generals (made into a film with an all-star cast) and an incomparable journey into the heart of wartime Germany.
H.H. Kirst is one of the most successful German authors since the end of the last war. He is the author of the famous Gunner Asch series.
