Heir to the Empire trilogy, a.k.a. The Thrawn trilogy by Timothy Zahn (in Dutch). Read them and owned them in 1996 and 1997. Lend them out around the 2000s, but forgot to whom....

So I bought them again this week.

Yes, depressing, isn't it? Nevertheless, it must be interesting to read about.

Some of the people who worked with (for) SOE (Special Operations Executive, the British equivalent of OSS) had a somewhat similar profile, and, after WW2, when the SOE was dissolved, quite a few of them ended up in MI6.
 
My brother gave me A Gentleman in Moscow as a gift a few years ago, and I must say that I loved it.

This (Table For Two) sounds interesting - and worth investigating further.
Towles has quickly become one of my favorite authors.

A Gentleman in Moscow is one of my favorite reads in recent history.

Rules of Civility is also brilliant.

The Lincoln highway as well...
