Media Reviews
'One of the best novels of the year . . . Furst's ability to recreate the terrors of espionage and combat is matchless.' Robert Harris, Daily Mail 'Brilliant . . . you can almost hear the chained wheels of the Gestapo car on the snow, the whack of bullets in the moonlit Polish forests, the quietness of occupied Paris by night . . . a compelling work.' Observer 'Excellent . . . beautifully written, intensely atmospheric and dramatically convincing. The Polish Officer is a work of quiet subtlety that will niggle in the memory far longer than most frenetic novels of espionage.' Sunday Times 'Surely among the most convincing war books of our time.' Sunday Telegraph
