:) World War 2 themed stories are always something I look forward to and when it involves Hitler it becomes even more interesting. This book gives the feeling of how it would have felt at the war, which drew me towards this book more. Thanks for the great review.

A nice historical-fiction story relating to war, history, and espionage can be found in the book "Forgotten Heroes of wW-II, the French Resistance" by Luis Gil Armendariz, which follows Herman and Karina, US citizens. They secretly defy the Neutrality Law to volunteer as pilots for Great Britain to fight against the Germans in WWII. This book looks appealing to me.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

This is a very detailed review of the book though I'm not a fan of historical war books so I'll pass. But seems interesting enough. Good review.

Probably Informative in addition to inspiring and connecting to past. You get to learn a new language as a pro bonus.

What's the point of asking whether America would intervene or not when you already know they would. But I like war stories and a little bit of fiction with history so I wilytry to read this book

I like reading stories about the brave deeds of the unsung heroes of WWII. Herman and Karina seem to be such heroes. I also appreciate the realism and authenticity of the story. Thanks for your review!

I have seen a lot of war movies lately, so I'll hold off on the idea of reading this book right now. It does sound very interesting though. I'll bookmark this for later.

I'm not really a fan of historical fiction and I really doubt whether I'll be able to keep up with the book. But I'm sure there are others who would enjoy and appreciate the book.
