Interesting novel dealing with the way two brothers view the Nazi regeim if Germany would not have been stopped
Brothers raised under the same roof couldn’t be more different. One brother chooses the ideology of a mad man, while the other seeks to resist. A great wealth of historical information is tucked into the folds as the writer takes great care to reveal polar opposite political stances.
3 words — I loved it
A True Picture of the Evil the Nazis pushed onto the people of Germany! Only in America a political party is attempting to suggest it never happen and they support the very people who bully and try the Nazis’ way! Read this book and see if our Fathers died to save us from these bullies or free us from them!
This is a story of a time in history that need a to he told and not forgotten. The reason I gave the book only two stars is that it leaves you hanging. You have to read the next book to find out what happens.
I was not impressed.
Dont like books that leave you hanging and you are forced to buy the other in the series
I didn’t care for this book
This series is fabulous. Read every one. You can’t put this down. U really feel u know every caracter in this series
Great series! I’m reading book 3 now.
Tells the world of Hitler’s rise to power. Everyone should read and understand how easily an entire population can be fooled.
Looking forward to the next part of the series.
We should never be allowed to forget what the Nazis did during WWII. Books like this help in the effort to remind us that this shouldn’t ever happen again, if humans are able to learn the lessons of history.
Difficult read but important
I would read anything by this author.
Enjoyed
Excellent
can;t wait to read the nexxt inthe series
Not for me but writing is fine. Fictional Story of brothers going separate ways in Nazi Germany.
The book is a good look at the post WW I leading up to Hitler coming into power.
Control the news media, target people you consider the enemy to your political point of view, use violence to intimidate (at that time the Jews in Germany).
All these led to the rise and control of the Nazi party and led to WWII. Some of this almost sounds like some of the things going on now in our time and our country.
