Last Flight to Stalingrad is the fifth novel in the Spoils of War series. It features a maverick Georgian journalist, Mikhail Magalashvili, who’s arrived in Berlin and relaunched himself as Werner Nehmann. He catches the eye of Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, who senses a kindred spirit. Like Goebbels himself, Nehmann has an eye for the ladies and little regard for the truth. He also turns out to be a writer of genius, prepared to pull any stroke to brighten the future of the Thousand Year Reich. Goebbels entrusts him with a personal mission, involving a Czech starlet with whom the Minister has fallen in love, but Nehmann takes one risk too many and must now pay the price. His latest – and perhaps last - assignment from the Ministry of Propaganda? To head east, and hunt for good news in the ashes of what is already a national catastrophe. Last Flight to Stalingrad is a story of murderous payback, and clinical revenge. What begins as a battle, ends in a slaughterhouse. But who is prepared to foot the butcher’s bill?
