Mission at Nuremberg: An American Army Chaplain and the Trial of the Nazis by Tim Townsend

5.0

Two of my most-read topics are pastoral ministry and WW2, so I've been looking forward to reading this for a while. It didn't disappoint. Fascinating insight into some of the men who committed unfathomable evil, including their upbringings and their backgrounds, and how one man managed to minister to them in their hour of judgement. I honestly don't know if I could have done what Henry Gerecke did; I really was inspired by his example. I also enjoyed the theological reflection interspersed throughout, without necessarily agreeing with the author's conclusions. Loved it.
