Reviews

[Robert M. Roth MD · Rating 3 out of 5]

Too much over the top

This wasn’t a bad read but I had to forgive the central character his romantic notions of war and his admiration of Hitler. The ending of the book defies belief, however. It was out of character for the protagonist and his idealism.

Very well written kept me interested all the way through hard to put it down.
