Written for the general public, this biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer is so absorbing that, once started, it is hard to put down. Renate Wind, who knows the history of the Nazi period in Germany so well, captures the sheer drama of Bonhoeffer's life as well as the intriguing complexity of his character. Thanks to the felicitous translation of John Bowden, this book is easy to read and affords an exciting introduction to this Christian theologian, pastor, and martyr whose influence continues to grow around the world."
