“Simply astounding. . . . *The Kindly Ones* is unmistakably the work of a profoundly gifted writer.” — *Time*

A literary prize-winner that has been an explosive bestseller all over the world, Jonathan Littell’s *The Kindly Ones* has been called “a brilliant Holocaust novel… a world-class masterpiece of astonishing brutality, originality, and force,” and “relentlessly fascinating, ambitious beyond scope,” by Michael Korda (*Ike, With Wings Like Eagles*). Destined to join the pantheon of classic epics of war such as Tolstoy’s *War and Peace* and Vasily Grossman’s *Life and Fate*, *The Kindly Ones* offers a profound and gripping experience of the horrors of World War II and the Holocaust.
