NOTE: This is the same book as Let Sleeping Nazis Lie but with its vulgar language removed. It is also a pacifist and anti-Nazi book which specifically targets the horrors of war and the secret police of totalitarian governments. Steeped in history, this fascinating spy-psycho-thriller is set against the 1989 Revolution of East Germany and the Fall of the Berlin Wall. 60-year old pacifist Klaus Bloederwitz remembers his parents with a fond nostalgia, in spite of having been heavily traumatized by their brutal deaths on the eve of his sixteenth birthday during the 1945 Dresden bombings. His only friends are the so-called Three Stooges who, although they were his Bannfuehrer in the Hitler Youth, now seem to be working for the notorious Stasi East German secret police on the sly. However, when Klaus finds a way to return to the Past he is horrified to discover that not only had he been a fanatic Nazi in the Hitler Youth but that he was also responsible for his own parents deaths. Returning to 1989, Klaus is soon arrested by the Stasi secret police and interrogated by the vicious, Nazi-baiting, female K.G.B. officer, Colonel Medvedev. Piece by painful piece, she digs up the darkest secrets of Klaus s family and friends and the supposed ghastly truth of their Nazi pasts, including one of Adolf Hitler s profanest secrets of all. As Klaus finally realizes that his entire life has been wrapped inside a web of international espionage, he keeps wondering who he should believe - Colonel Medvedev or his friends - or even if he can still trust his own memories from his own traumatic past. At the same time that the East German government is crashing and the entire country seems to be about to descend into unbridled chaos, it seems that Colonel Medvedev is hell-bent on settling old scores with old Nazis. This roller-coaster of thrills and unexpected twists is rounded off by a comprehensive glossary of fascinating additional background information. Rabbit Warren was born and raised in England and has spent almost all of his adult life living in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Let Sleeping Spies Lie was inspired by the many tales of East Germans that he met and befriended during and since the Fall of the Berlin Wall. He is also the author of two books of macabre short stories and a twin autobiography of his dreams and travels, as well as multiple children s fantasies.
