The titles in bold are books that I found particularly interesting and/or enjoyable.

A rather slow reading year for me. Mainly because I was physically exhausted most of the fall (from early August into early December) and I couldn't read long without falling asleep. Feeling much better, the past few weeks and slowly getting back to a more normal routine. Hope to get back to a more normal reading output in 2023.

I feel like we may need to have a The Winners discussion group.

Prisoners of the Castle by Ben Macintyre

This guy has written several (non-fiction) cold war era spy books that I've liked, most notably 'A Spy Among Friends' on infamous British
spy Kim Philby and other secret upper-crust English communists. Hadn't heard about this one though I'll have to check it out.

I had previously read two of his books (Agent ZigZag & The Spy and the Traitor) and enjoyed them both. I believe Prisoners of the Castle is his latest work. It is an in depth look and the personalities and the indomitable human spirit of the allied prisoners in Nazi Germany's maximum security POW camp. I will have to check out A Spy Among Friends.
