review 1: A fine read. I don't usually read thrillers, especially ones about Nazi Germany, but this one was fun. The protagonist, a contemporary historian, was unusual and appealing. His search was for the truth about his mentor, not stolen art or gold. The relationships and plot avoided the usual cliches and offered only necessary glimpses of the grim brutality that was Germany during WW II. Good settings, history that went down easily, a sense of authenticity. Some nice prose as well.
review 2: An excellent read. Bounces back and forth between Bern, Berlin and the US East Coast while switching back and forth from modern day to Workd War II. An American history prof tries to unravel a WWII Mystery involving a recently deceased colleague and mentor who worked for Allen... more Dulles in the OSS during the war. Some good history on the White Rose movement and an interetsing look at Switzerland during the war but also a very emotional book. less
