This copy is bright, tight, white and square. The unclipped dust wrapper is in as new condition, it has been covered in clear, removable, protective film. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. Kirst´s second book in the four volume Gunner Asch series is distinctly darker and richer, and much better than his first. The events it describes on the Russian front perhaps make for a faster moving and more dramatic plot, but there is also license to develop strong characterisations, of men and women in extreme circumstances. At points it approaches Catch 22 in its absurdity, but you know this one isn´t going to end so well. Kirst´s theme here is honor, patriotism and human virtue in battle, and behind the lines. I am no fan of Kirst´s later work, but these early novels have energy and honesty, and seem to be a genuine attempt by Kirst to recover some sense of national pride and morality out of the morass into which Germany had sunk. Hans Hellmut Kirst (5 December 1914 ? 13 February 1989) was a German novelist and the author of 46 books, many of which were translated into English. Kirst is best remembered as the creator of the "Gunner Asch" series which detailed the ongoing struggle of an honest individual to maintain his identity and humanity amidst the criminality and corruption of Nazi Germany. Other major novels by Kirst set during the Third Reich and World War II include Officer Factory, about the investigation into the death of a training officer in an officer school near the end of World War II, Last Stop, Camp 7, the story of 48 hours in an internment camp for former Nazis, The Wolves,[4] a tale of crafty resistance in a German village, and The Nights of the Long Knives, about a fictitious 6-man squad of SS hit men. All of these novels featured Kirst's unique blend of deadpan humor and devastating satire, with leading characters often shown positioning themselves as outspoken, ardent Nazis during the Third Reich era before effortlessly flipping to become equally ardent in their claims to have been anti-Nazi and 100% pro-democracy or pro-communist, whichever was to their advantage, after the tide turned. In 1965 Kirst was nominated for an Edgar Award of the Mystery Writers of America for his 1962 book Die Nacht der Generale, translated into English as The Night of the Generals. The book dealt with an investigation into a series of murders of prostitutes during and after World War II committed by one of three German generals. This is just one of many books by this author that I am selling on this site. Ref QQQ 3.

First Edition
First English editions, first impressions, of Kirst's internationally acclaimed Second World War satires, first published in German in 1954 to 1955. This trilogy follows the story of Gunner Asch, an ordinary private in the German army, trying to maintain his sense of morality and justice amidst the venality of the Nazi regime. Kirst (1914-1989) was a prolific novelist and cutting satirist of the Third Reich, having himself served in the German army throughout the whole period of Nazi rule. He was candid about his wartime experiences, which he described in terms of his disillusionment with the corruption and criminality of National Socialism, and much of his work conveys "a collective sense of guilt over German complacency under Nazism" (Britannica). 3 works, octavo. Original blue boards, spines lettered in gilt. With dust jackets illustrated by Stein. Contemporary ownership inscriptions of one E. Fitzroy to endpapers, newspaper review of What Became of Gunner Asch? loosely inserted with vol. III. A very good set, top of board edges sunned, top of book block edges dust toned, others faintly foxed, faint offsetting to endpapers of vol. I, in like dust jackets, toned, edges slightly rubbed and nicked, offsetting to front flap of vol. III, else sharp examples.
