Publisher Synopsis
"Frighteningly compelling ... the feel and pace of a court-room thriller. As it approaches its climax, you almost believe this dogged, decent man is going to win through ... superbly researched and tautly written" -- Dominic Sandbrook * Daily Mail Book of the Week * "Tremendous ... Ryback's tenacity as forensic researcher and huge storytelling flair make this a compelling page-turner" * Independent * "Gripping - and thoroughly chilling ... The haunting question at the heart of this book is this: if there had been a few more like Hartinger ... was there any way the Nazi terror might have been averted? ... a fascinating reconstruction" * Telegraph * "The genius of the book is to present Ryback's thorough research as a kind of duel between Hartinger and Wackerle, adopting some of the conventions of modern crime drama ... few [Germans] have been held up as war heroes. Ryback's brilliant book makes a powerful case for honouring Hartinger, an honest man in dishonest times" -- Roger Boyes * The Times * "Gripping ... anyone who thinks that Nazism came to power legally and without violence needs to read this account" * Guardian * Read more...
