"Winner Lose All" by William F. Brown is a historical thriller set during the end and in the aftermath of WWII. It focuses on the myth of super weapons that floated around that time and handles the controversial issue of those German scientists who after the war were given new identities by the Allies and used for their knowledge despite their Nazi past.Using American spy Ed Scanlon as protagonist the story moves at a fast pace with great suspense. The plot is quite evolved and offers a lot of historical data and insight beyond what is commonly known.There is also some romance between Scanlon and a resistance leader in Leipzig which adds to the rich feel of this book that is a clever blend of historical fiction, action spy suspense and political military thriller.A gripping read for fans of either genre.
