    Summary note
    • "Requiem in Red is, at once, a historical novel, family epic, and espionage thriller. Riedel uses fictional characters to take the reader inside significant events that occurred in Eastern Europe, beginning with the formation of a Ukrainian Waffen-SS division during the latter stages of World War II.
    • A thin generational thread then links certain characters from this period to others whose presence in Budapest during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, and Prague during the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia, forms the backdrop for a CIA exfiltration operation launched during the failed coup d'etat in Moscow in August 1991."--BOOK JACKET.
