À propos de la quatrième de couverture

1968. Prague.

Two British students are hitchhiking across Europe.

A young diplomat is trying to smuggle a high-profile defector to safety.

The Red Army masses on the border.

A city in crisis and a world on the brink.

Prague Spring.


'Mawer is a superb chronicler of past events in foreign countries, and Prague Spring is a wonderfully atmospheric portrait of the city as well as a political and historical thriller with dashes of espionage. It is as brilliant as anything he has written, which is saying a lot' Marcel Berlins, The Times

'Masterly and chilling . . . it is very good indeed' Scotsman
