What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“This fictional autobiography of an undercover agent in Nationalist Socialist Germany portrays with unembellished clarity the horrors of the Nazi regime, contrasted to those whose faith in humankind—even when they perish—outlasts those terrible years. Highly recommended.”

—ALAN SCOTT, CVO, CBE, former Governor of the Cayman Islands



“Totalitarianism has never seemed more subtle, insidious, and in the end more terrifying. An outstanding book, beautifully written and absorbing.”

—J. K. TAPLIN



“Anley’s nightmarish narrative about a nation led into infamy gallops on at a pace and style guaranteed to hold a reader’s attention from the start. A powerful story of human survival against all odds and a triumph of hope over despair.”

—RAYMOND ZALA
