About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

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.

I wish I could give a higher star rating for this narrator. He is excellent and never once through the 24 hour audio book did I lose concentration. A gripping and emotional story with an excellent historical basis. I learnt so much from this book and when looking up various events which were new to me using other sources (whilst still absorbed in this book) I learnt more about historical facts I had previously not understood before. Thank you for a wonderful book.
