title: The Book of Kings
author:  James Thackara 
description: Landing on bookshelves with something between a bang and a whimper, <i>The Book of Kings</i> has been its own war as much as it is about war. Twenty-five years in the making, James Thackara's near-800 page tale focuses on four friends whose lives are both scattered and sculpted by the winds of Nazism. It is first and foremost a war novel, and an unbelievably ornate one at that. Thackara draws the particulars of tank battles as lavishly as he does the incessant dinner-party set pieces in which moneyed armchair military strategists opine. For instance, Hitler himself is best defined not from the handful of scenes he actually occupies but rather by the appearances he makes in the correspondence and parlor rumor of the book's vast supporting cast.
