Reviews of "Leaders of the Storm Troops, Volume I"
Two 5-star reviews of
Leaders of the Storm Troops: Volume 1 Oberster Sa-Fuhrer, Sa-Stabschef and Sa-Obergruppenfuhrer
from British readers.
"A really enjoyable and accessible reference book. This is really the complete study, and as such will never be surpassed. The clarity of text and accompanying photographs make it such an indispensable reference work. The publishers have presented the book in a clean and fresh style, that makes reading more enjoyable. Highly recommended."

"As an amateur military historian who has studied Germany 1919-1945 for over forty years, I find this book an excellent reference to the leaders of the SA storm troopers. It will be an asset to any military library."

Review of "Leaders of the SS & German Police, Volume II"
A nice 5-star review at Amazon of Leaders Of The SS & German Police Volume 2 Reichsfuhrer-SS SS-Gruppenfuhrer.
Great book with a limited audience

"Excellent book for an audience interested in specific upper echelon members of the SS. Otherwise, this information which is archived in the German language WWII vaults would be unavailable to English readers. The authors have obviously collated and scoured the historical records to present the information in a concise and readable manner. This book would appeal only to readers interested in the professional history of the individual players of this organization. The information is provided by the authors in an unbiased manner, but certainly any individual reader can come to their own conclusions about the character and historical implications of the individuals who make up this organization. This book is not for a reader looking for a general history of the Third Reich. Such readers would find this book tedious and of no particular utility. There are plenty of other books which fill that need."

Review of "Leaders of the SS & German Police, Volume I"
A nice 5-star review of my first book,
Leaders Of The SS & German Police Volume 2 Reichsfuhrer-SS SS-Gruppenfuhrer
(2007), by "Ted" at Amazon.
"Excellently produced stitch-bound hardcover, using very high quality paper stock. The background, and research on each member of the SS leaders featured, is exhaustive. Unsure of how the authors managed to unearth the extensive detail, but for researchers, or those interested in this subject, it can be highly recommended. Michael Miller has certainly filled a void in the history of these individuals, with meticulous background information hitherto unpublished previously."
