Publisher Description

This Edgar® Award-nominated novel in Philip Kerr’s New York Times bestselling Bernie Gunther series reveals the cynical, hard-boiled detective’s harrowing history as an unwilling SS officer in World War 2. 

During his eleven years working homicide in Berlin's Kripo, Bernie Gunther learned a thing or two about evil. Then he set himself up as a private detective—until 1940 when Heydrich dragooned him into the SS's field gray uniform and the bloodbath that was the Eastern Front. Spanning twenty-five tumultuous years, Field Gray strides across the killing fields of Europe, landing Bernie in a divided Germany at the height of the Cold War—revealing a treacherous world where the ends justify the means and no one can be trusted...

Anti-American

I was surprised by the anti-American tone of this book. Some the other books were not in the least pro-American but this one got really anti-American. He even made fun of the sculptural tribute to the Berlin Airlift at Templehof. Because the Berlin Airlift save 3 million Berliners from starvation, I thought that was one nice thing you could say about America. Even so, as usual I enjoyed the Bernie Gunther book.

Against All Fascists

In Field Grey Phillip Kerr surveys the fascists, including the Communists, from Cuba to the USA to Germany (East and West) to the USSR and properly finds them all wanting. It is an epic story tied together by his anti-hero Bernie Gunther. A must read with great sense of history and a compelling plot.

Read first

If you enjoy historical thrillers, read Field Gray first then the rest of the series. although written last, so far, it provides an overview. the rest of the stories are more specific time slices. There is obviously one more adventure to come before Herr Gunther can retire.
