The Boys Who Challenged Hitler: Knud Pedersen and the Churchill Club by Phillip Hoose

4.0

This fascinating book based largely on interviews with one of the principal characters, tells the little known story of a group of young Danish resisters during World War II. The narrative switches back and forth between third person and first person, which was at times a little difficult to transition between, at least on my Nook, as an advanced reader galley from Netgalley. Hopefully, the design of the finished book will make this easier to navigate for younger readers. Nevertheless, as usual, Hoose has once again captured a remarkable, yet relatively unknown story in an engaging, extremely well-documented narrative, that will appeal to readers of Sheinkin's Bomb, or Bartoletti's Hitler Youth.


Read as an advanced reader copy from the publisher via Netgalley.
