I'm German, Sebastian Haffner, 2001
On Deutschlandfunk, Silke Rotzoll judged Soukup's biography that it was consistently exciting. Haffner's time at the Observer is captivating and remarkably well documented. Haffner becomes so exciting for Soukup because of the "charming imponderables", as expressed in the friendship with Ulrike Meinhof . Uwe Soukup wrote "the biography of the journalist and author Sebastian Haffner and not that of the private man Raimund Pretzel".
