Bulgaria, 1934. A young man is murdered by the local fascists.

Warned that he is about to become a victim of Stalin's purges, Khristo flees to Paris. NIGHT SOLDIERS masterfully re-creates the European world of 1934-45: the struggle between Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia for Eastern Europe, the last desperate gaiety of the beau monde in 1937 Paris and guerrilla operations with the French underground in 1944.
