I love books dealing with World War Two! It is often hard to tell a compelling fictional story that outdoes the real-life events of that time period. I look forward to seeing how the author weaves in events that took place at that time into his story. Thank you for the interesting review.

A beautifully written historical fiction. Although I don't care much for this genre, I think fans of this kind of book would enjoy reading this book. Good review.

The review of this book is perfectly written. Reading historical books with real-life events is worth it because it enlightens the reader about important events or historical figures. I find the book relevant because it reveals the events that happened during Hitler's period. I only know that Hitler did not last in power forever, neither did he take full control of the world. I hope the book will provide me with the preceding details, just to fill the blanks. I hope to enjoy reading the book.

I'm not interested in stories about war and related to history so I'll pass on this book. Thanks for the review!

Historical books are so fun to read, very informative, so bad that people betray their country for personal interest. Good review.

Latest Review: Creating Literary Stories: A Fiction Writer's Guide by William H. Coles

I love historical fiction, and it’s great for people to learn more about the French Resistance and lesser-known parts of World War II (so long as the fiction novel that’s been written about it is accurate in its historical facts). Still, I’m not really looking for a WWII book at the moment. I’ve come across a lot of them recently, so I’m feeling a little overwhelmed, but I’ll remember it for the future when that might not be the case. Thank you for the helpful review.

All the history about wars and bias is terrifying. The heroes' sacrifices and all the grievance makes me ache. The book seems wonderful, I would love to read the book. Great review, it covered every aspect of the book.

While I love stories about unsung heroes, I'm not much of a history buff so I'll pass on this one. Congrats on BOTD!

I have read a lot of books on second world war but I can never say I know everything. Every author who writes on second world war always has something to tell to readers. And your review is very remarkable and to the point. Thank you

The US and their historic clash with the Germans is a fact that keeps me wondering. The review holds the reader spellbound by such a collection of history. Great job is done!

I like the work that the creator has placed into portraying the characters. I additionally partook in the kickoff of the book. Having just perused the example, I'll make certain to add this book to my rack.
