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.

"A monumental work...brilliantly executed." (Daily Telegraph)
"The pace and tension leave one almost breathless. A frightening yet compelling novel." (Sunday Telegraph)

Riveting Prequel
A riveting story so fascinating to read after finishing Len Deightons 2 trilogies with Bernard Sampson as the chief protagonist. The lead up to the trilogies is narrated in Winter . So good . I’ll miss these books

Brilliant
Very skillful treatment of an incredibly complex story. A cast of characters frustratingly real and flawed makes this story so gut wrenchingly powerful. The performance is impeccable, consistent and it echoes in your ears long after you finished listening to this fascinating book.

just brilliant.
Rollicking tale, expertly written and wonderfully performed. Characters that are both believable and sympathetic, and some great twists. Loved it.
