Interesting read in today's political climate. Could have wrapped it up in about 200 fewer pages.

Absolutely loved this one. Very well researched just like the Shardlake series and kept me hooked for all 700 pages. One of the few books I'm considering buying myself a copy of.

I've realized that I have an affinity for WWII stories. This one was recommended by Kirkus and I got it off the shelf at my library and wow...

A great story of personal conflict and what might have happened had Churchill not become PM in 1940. It's also a reminded that Nazis were and are asshats. The group represents the largest and widest representation of evil in modern history.

The booked was a slow-paced thriller and a wonderful account of the thinking that could take place, even in today's world. A thinking of "it's not my problem" that gets viral and can cause long term problems if good people don't stand up to what they know is wrong.

Recommended for many.

I gave it an 8/10 on my personal scale.
