WW2 was a war between Germany and Russia who eventually won it. Europe was in the war because Germany needed their resources. The rest were in the war because they couldn't mind their own business. Young men went to war because they wanted the excitement of visiting Paris and going to the Follies Bergere and the Moulin Rouge. Now you don't need to read a book about the reasons for the start of the Second World War.

"Last snow" by Eric Van Lustbader
Too many Russian names. I had a hard time finishing the book. It just seemed to go on and on. At least there was an explosive ending.

"Sleepers: by Mark Dawson
"Sleepers"is a story of remnants of the Cold War with a modern twist. It is an appropriate title for spies who seem to be semi-retired. They are supposed to fade away, except some times they don't. Old hatreds still linger and new ones are born. Murder is still avenged, whether it is at home or abroad. This book is a real page turner with unexpected twists and moments of high action. It is not 100% action oriented but leaves room for Milton's inner dilemma and his attempt to find a road to redemption.
