The Pleasures of Reading

Lieutenant Andrew Cooper, who fought the war in Brooklyn, half an hour by subway from his own home, finds himself in Munich, a month after the last shot has been fired. He is one of a group of American officers assigned to reconstruct the newspapers of Bavaria and his duties consist of finding German newspapermen, trustworthy enough to edit these papers. He learns about a man named Lorenz, well known for his liberal editorials during the dangerous days of Nazityranny, and determines to locate him.
