Nancy M. (mensamomof3) reviewed on 2/24/2012 + 4 more book reviews

Eric Larson has done it again -- a book full of historical and descriptive information that never makes you feel bogged down (or worse, like you're reading a history book), but instead pulls you right along until suddenly you're on the last page. In his Sources and Acknowledgements section, he says "[w]hat I did not realize as I ventured into those dark days of Hitler's rule was how much the darkness would infiltrate my own soul." Larson has done a beautiful job of creating that sense in the book -- the more I read, the more anxious I became, and confused and confounded by the actions of the rising Nazi regime. Definitely ranks as one of my favorite books!
