Haunting account of a businessman & his post war retribution

This is a factual account of the post war justice and subsequent imprisonment meeted out to a pro German (Nazi) businessman by the Soviets. But it is by no means simply an account of hardship and imprisonment suffered by a man who hoped to be apolitical but a haunting picture of how political situations interact with personal morality and family relationships to form a life. More than any other book that I have read this account asks What should a good man do? in situations in which all good men are endangered. This book, in my view, should have made JD Morley's reputation totally secure as a great writer.
