 Rating:  - Evocation of another worldFurst is brilliant at character study, but more than that, he delivers you into another world. Pre-World II Europe becomes present.

I am fortunate in having some familiarity with all three. This was a page-turner, the likes of which I had not read in a long while. Thank you, Alan Furst, for writing "The Foreign Correspondent". I am about to begin reading "The Spies of Warsaw", but am actually saving it for an anticipated, hopefully short, hospital stay. ... Read More
