Helpful Score: 2
Based on historical facts of World War II in 1944, and the plot to assassinate Gen.Eisenhower in Paris, this stunning novel keeps you riveted to the action throughout the book. The story depicts tragedy and later victory, but exemplifies the horrors of war.
Lt. Colonel Otto Skorzeny of the 150th Panzer Brigade is said to have designed the plan. Infiltrate the American army with English speaking German soldiers, using U.S. Army equipment and supplies, accompanying the simultaneous invasion of superior German Forces in the weakly defended Ardennes, as a cover. The madman, A.Hitler, cannot see that Germany's War is over, defeat is certain, and approves the operation permitting the horror of the subversive to move forward. A young private, conscripted into the German Army, though born in Brooklyn, & fluent in American, does his best to defeat the assassination attempt despite the odds. The stunning plot will keep you awake; this is an all-nighter book that you won't be able to put down.
