A
well-known American journalist travels to Germany to write about the

than he expected, including a murdered American soldier and a stunning
level of postwar corruption that is inextricably mixed with the
American and Russian rocket projects. A New York Times Notable Book for

Publisher's Note
A
dramatic saga of intrigue and love set against the tumultous backdrop
of Berlin in 1945 follows Jake Geismar, a former Berlin correspondent
for CBS assigned to do a series of articles on the American occupation
of Berlin, as he tries to find Lena, the German mistress he left
behind, and stumbles upon a murder, which hurls him into a dark
underworld of corruption. Reissue. (A Warner Bros. film, directed by
Steven Soderberg, releasing Fall 2006, starring George Clooney, Cate
Blanchett, & Tobey Maguire) (Suspense)
Industry reviews
"Occupied Berlin makes for a remarkable setting.... [Geismar] manages to resolve things rather handily by the finish." San Francisco Chronicle - David Lazarus (10/14/2001)
"The
mystery takes on the weight of the deepest questions of right and wrong
as the novel's action moves through a ravaged Berlin so exactly
depicted that one feels Kanon must have traveled in time to witness
this landscape himself....Even with its occasional lapses, THE GOOD
GERMAN is thoroughly captivating, a novel that brings to life the
ambiguities at the heart of our country's moral legacy." New York Times Book Review - Neil Gordon (10/14/2001)
