The Collaborators: Three Stories of Deception and Survival in World War II

The Collaborators by Ian Buruma is a gripping account of three near-mythic figures who may have been con artists and collaborators under Japanese and German rule, or true heroes, or something in between.

Buruma's spellbinding narrative sheds light on the complexities of history and the human condition, challenging readers to question their assumptions about these figures and the times they lived in.

With a focus on the intricate web of collaborations and betrayals that defined World War II, The Collaborators is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the nuances of this pivotal period in history.
