Nothing for Tears

The true story of one family's struggle in the chaos of Germany's defeat in 1945—and one with an ending both heartbreaking and sadly ironic. Toward the end of the war, Lali Horstman and her husband Freddy were living in an elegant 18th-century home, until Allied bombers destroyed the building. The Horstmans grabbed what they could and moved into a small agent's house in the park; it was there Russian agents came one spring night and took Freddy away. Only by chance, two and a half years later, did Lali learn the truth about her husband's fate... "Outstanding"—The Times. 5 3/8 X 8 1/2.
