I love historical fiction, and this title really stands out. The Last Rival by Kyle Palmer weaves an intriguing narrative around President Truman’s strategy for confronting the Adolf Hitler-led Nazis. Blending pivotal moments in American history with fiction, the author masterfully crafts a story that history buffs won’t want to miss.

Kyle Palmer's "The Last Rival" delivers a gripping historical thriller, detailing President Truman's clandestine "Operation Louveterie" and the recruited OSS operatives tasked with a high-stakes mission against Hitler's Nazi regime.

It is true that a book's length will not matter much if the content is enthralling and keeps one turning one page after another. I am also a huge fan of history and historical fiction and cannot wait to read this book and find out much more about 'Operation Louveterie.' It sounds very interesting and getting into its specifics and the team dynamics of the operatives will be an exciting reading experience.
Many thanks for the amazing review, @Bethel Saint Bright.

The Last Rival seems like a great historical fiction novel. The author seems to do a great job of blending fiction and historical events in the story. This is a great book for readers who like history. I look forward to reading this book soon.

The Last Rival is a fascinating blend of historical fact and fiction, making you wonder what might have been. The idea of a secret mission against Hitler, led by some of history’s most influential figures, adds an exciting layer to Truman’s real-life decisions.

You might disagree, but in my opinion, some people should be erased from human history and never mentioned in polite society. Adolf Hitler is a prime example of such a person. And yes, I am fully aware that “Those who forget their history are condemned to repeat it”, the current political tendency is to use it as an excuse for your own cruelty by unfounded accusation in neo-Nazism. Apologies, I prefer to pass.

This book sounds like an interesting read. Historical fictions are always intriguing for me as we can get a different perspective of historical events through these kind of stories. The book seems to have some interesting characters as well. Thanks for the free copy.

The idea of President Truman creating a secret agency to take down Adolf Hitler fascinates me, and I can’t wait to read “The Last Rival” to see how the mission unfolds.

As a fan of historical novels, I am very intrigued by The Last Rival: A Time of Our Choosing by Kyle Palmer. The in-depth approach to post-World War II tensions and the exploration of the moral dilemmas faced by characters like Lewis Weinman and Jim Bolden offer a rich perspective on the transition from war to peace. The emphasis on the role of the newly formed CIA and its interactions with President Truman adds an intriguing dimension to the narrative. I look forward to reading this book and delving into the complexities of the decisions faced by these characters during such a pivotal time in history

This political thriller is set during President Truman's reign. He had to deal with the Adolf Hitler problem. Intelligence officers braced themselves for covert missions, which set the stage for the formation of the CIA. Truman deals with the remnants of the Nazi regime, taking readers across Europe and Argentina.

“The Last Rival: A Time of our Choosing” by Kyle Palmer is a fictional story about President Truman’s strategy for dealing with the Adolf Hitler problem. Truman needs to decisively handle Hitler and his fellow Nazis. I love history and Truman became president when Roosevelt died and this occurred two weeks before Hitler committed suicide in his bunker. While Hitler was gone there were Nazis escaping to many countries around the world and to end their quest for world domination they needed to be found and prosecuted. Truman had his hands full with the Nazis and the Japanese. Once the atomic bomb was approved for use the war with Japan would soon end. The Nazi party has never disappeared and today it is very strong and they are still planning the fourth Reich. The battle with the Nazis across continents continued for many years as the Nazi leadership that escaped were hunted down. No one really knows how many Nazis escaped and were never found. Truman trusted the OSS covert intelligence group to battle for humanity’s soul. While Roosevelt was involved with the other ally leaders, I assume that Truman devoted his time to keeping the U.S. running as smoothly as possible. WWII was proclaimed as the war to end all wars but looking at the world today this proclamation was premature. The evil in the world today is undoubtedly worse than it was during WWII and being on the verge of WWIII that could be the end of our planet long before the devastation of climate change takes its toll. We were very fortunate to have Truman take over when FDR died. He was a tough leader that did not pass the buck or blame others like our current president. I found the sample to be excellent and it motivated me to add this book to my to-read shelf.
