This book has really reminded me my history class where I was studying about world wars, indeed Hitler was really focused and determined on conquering the world. During this time the economy of the world was really affected. Thanks for the great review.

This sounds like a great book for WWII history buffs. I’m probably not the audience for this book today, but I hope others enjoy.

I'm pleased the author described the series of routines these soldiers undertook during the war. As a reader, I appreciate having a realistic understanding of what these men learned in each drill. When these actions were performed, there isn't any confusion from the reader because they had already learned about them. I praise the author for his explanations. Great job on your review, it was a pleasure to read.

Even though this book could be read by worldwide readers as many countries were involved during the World War II, I think I should pass this one. Historical fiction is not usually of my kind. I hope it will be a fantastic read for those who are into this genre. Very detailed review. Congrats on BOTD.

The resistance to the war offered by the forgotten heroes help to change the tide of the war by the allied forces. This is a beautiful work of fiction. The story is well articulated and well research. I'm recommending it to all lovers of fiction books. Thanks for the review.

Review about one of the biggest war of the world is explicit in detail. The reviewer wrote a pretty likeable review of a likeable book.

I like that the author recognized casualties of war of both sides. This kind of genre is not my normal read but I would give it a try and recommend it as well. Congratulations on the BOTD.

This sounds like a great story that I would enjoy, but for the war theme. I love historical fiction, but war stories are somewhat intense for me.

Although spy thrillers don't appeal to me, I love historical fiction, especially when it is as well done as this book seems to be. I love the fact that the book is so authentic, and that the author seems to have taken such care to build up his characters. I'm glad that he provided scenes of their training instead of making the readers take for granted that, as the main characters, they would be highly skilled anyway. There seem to be both universal and personal aspects to this novel, which I love. Your wonderful review has made me eager to read this book. Thank you.

I'm not someone who's interested in fiction stories relating to war, history, and espionage. Additionally, I hate topics like war and violence, especially the second world war. So, i think i must skip reading this book.
