What a painful look at humanity this was. I am tempted to re-read it just to take in the full gravity of it. But that will wait until I can remember to breathe again.

This is a short but powerful book about friendship, loyalty, and morality. It does an excellent job of showing how fascist political ideology can change a person, and in turn affect their friendships and how they view and treat people. The book also has plot that I didn't expect when I started.

This is a fast read that makes you feel and keeps you thinking!

Auf knapp 80 Seiten schreibt Kressmann Taylor über das zersetzende Gift des Nationalsozialismus. Mehr braucht es nicht. Beeindruckend, schockierend, spannend, meisterhaft. 1938 geschrieben und doch aktueller denn je.
