Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The famous novel about three Nazi generals and a brutal wartime sex crime--and the inspiration for the 1967 film. When a Polish prostitute is murdered in 1942, the suspects come down to three German generals. But nothing happens. Then, in 1944, when the trio gathers again, another killing occurs. However, a coup against Hitler halts the investigations. Then, in 1956, a third slaying takes place-and it's clear that this time, the murderer must be caught...


About the Author
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars awakening, Vincent in flames, March 31, 2007
Gabler, Kahlenberge, Tanz. A cold blood trail from Warsaw to Paris, and later on back to Fatherland. The inner demons eclipse the surreal nightmare that created them.

5.0 out of 5 stars REVIEW OF A FIRST RATE THRILLER, July 1, 2001
This review is from: Night of the Generals (Paperback)
AN EXCELLENT CRIME THILLER WHICH FOR A LONG TIME REFUSES TO LEAVE YOUR THOUGHTS.A FIRST RATE MOVIE OF THE SAME NAME WAS MADE A FEW DECADES BACK.THE BOOK GRIPS YOU FROM THE BEGINING AND THE READER ASKS FOR MORE OF THE SAME.THE WRITER HAS EXCELLENT UNDERSTANDING OF MILITARY ADMINISTRATION SPECIALLY WHEN IT HAS TO PASS THROUGU THE TURBULANCE AND STRESS & STRAINS OF WAR.

2.0 out of 5 stars Big disappointment after enjoying the film...., January 12, 2006
Whenever I enjoy a movie based on a successful book, I am excited to give the original a read. It's usually better! PRINCE OF TIDES...OF HUMAN BONDAGES...and many others.

Unfortunately, that wasn't the case for me with this one. Especially as a fan of historical fiction, I'd been looking forward to an engrossing thriller but I was tremendously disappointed. It just couldn't hold my attention.

I suspect this is a case where it would have been better to read the book first!
