Summary: Well crafted, intriguing
Review: A well crafted, historically accurate, behind the scenes look at life during the the rise of Nazi Germany. I felt it adressed a view that few talk about in this day and age. A thought provoking read!

Summary: Where is the evil?
Review: Where are the people who are out and out evil? Where are the 'Nazis' as depicted by both history and Hollywood?

Instead, we see real people. People just like us. That is what makes the book so disturbing. These aren't fanatics, instead they are ordinary people, some of who still see their involvement in the Third Reich as being periphery.

The evil is there, it's just so banal, so integrated within the lives of those involved that it's hard for the reader to acknowledge and accept.

These people could be us.
