My Brother the Enemy

By Rupert Colley

Book Overview

Fear on the streets. Death on every corner. But the real enemy is the brother at his side. A short, heart-wrenching historical novella on a large canvas from the founder of History In An Hour . My Brother the Enemy is a story of jealousy, sibling rivalry and betrayal, and a desperate bid for freedom, set against a backdrop of Nazi oppression and war. 1936 - Exiled by the Nazi regime for their father's beliefs, Peter's love for his brother is slowly eroded as Martin proves himself to be ruthless and manipulative. When Monika comes into their young lives, their mutual jealousies heighten and threaten to tear them apart. 1941 - A childhood accident saves Peter from active service. His brother, posted to the killing fields of the Eastern Front, isn't so lucky. 1945 - Berlin is torn apart by Allied bombs. Amid the carnage and death that descends over the city, Martin returns from Russia - battered and embittered. The twins' seething bitterness and their shared love for Monika finally explodes with devastating consequences. "A good, fast, page-turning read and I cared about the characters and wanted to know what happened to them." "Fraternal jealousies and rivalries are searingly drawn." Rupert Colley is the founder, editor and writer of the highly successful History In An Hour series of ebooks and audio, published by HarperCollins. Historical Fiction with Heart and Drama.
