Peter and Paul, the two sons of German businessman Harald Winter, are bonded together by a childhood trauma. But as they grow up the brothers also grow apart. When the shadow of the Third Reich falls they become divided by war and their differing ideals - only to meet again years later at the Nuremberg trials. An epic prelude to the Bernard Samson Game, Set and Match trilogy, Winter is a rich, tragic portrait of the fortunes of a family, and a nation, over half a century.

Critic Reviews

Deighton's research and plotting are as surefooted as ever, while the pace and tension leave one almost breathless. A frightening yet compelling novel.
A monumental work ... brilliantly executed.
Deighton is a fearless observer of the deceptive human world. (John Gray)

Deighton's most ambitious and subtle book to date, an epic fiction.

The book, describes Germany from 1900 till the end of WW2. It gives a good understanding of social pressures and changes that occurred. And the narration was brilliant which made hearing the book a pleasure.

Interesting story of German between the Wars
