The hakenkreus, or broken cross, became the vivid icon under which Adolf Hitler united his destitute and pride-starved nation. Many church leaders capitulated to the wave of nationalism that swept the cross of Jesus Christ from its rightful place. Others did not-and paid the price for upholding the truth.

The author explores the story of Hitler's Cross-how a whole race of people so in need of a champion found little help from the Church of Christ and so invited the judgement of God.
