This is a novel by renowned German writer Stefan Heym, first published in 1951, in which fact and fiction relating to the Communist revolution in Czechoslovakia are skillfully blended in a gripping tale of one of the enigmas of our times.
As the story—which centers around three brothers, Thomas, Joseph and Karel—unfolds, the reader becomes acutely aware of the forces that created the anomalies, of those elements brought into focus by the Nazi occupation, the working of the Underground, the tragedies of prison camps, and the hunger for power and survival.
