So who is reading this one? I am enjoying it thus far -- it's interesting to see the connections with some of the other books we have read, and to read about places that we are familiar with!

I've read it and will be rereading for our meeting. I hope we can speak about the White Russian community in Berlin. (I still think a few residents are Chekists.) Also, how the Prussian military elite was responsible for keeping the military together and defeating the Spartacists. How might the 20th Century been different if Germany had gone Red in the 20's? Might WWII been avoided? Does Hans von Seeckt ever drop by?
