George Clare produced an instant bestseller with Last Waltz in Vienna which won the 1982 W.H. Smith Literary Award and was translated into seven languages. Berlin Days is a continuation of the classic memoir. In 1946, George Clare was posted to Berlin as a British intelligence officer and his experiences there form the basis of the book, a brilliant combination of the historical and the personal. As a Jew whose parents died in the holocaust, Clare has a particular interest in trying to come to terms with the horror that engulfed a civilization. His insights into the city and its people are illuminating and penetrating, giving us a vivid and panoramic portrait that remains relevant today.
