Through a stroke of fate—in the way that we find books waiting on the shelf for us, sometimes for years, without us being aware of their existence—I came across Hans Fallada’s Every Man Dies Alone, a novel for adults based on the true story of a couple who dared raise their voices against the Nazi propaganda machine and attempted to tell the truth to other Germans. The novel was published in 1947

Great book recommendation and review, Bruce. Also thank you for the reminder to read Susan Bartoletti's excellent work, EVERY MAN DIES ALONE. I call it excellent before reading it, because I've read lots of Susan's writing in the past and can't imagine this book would be anything but excellent.
Thanks, Dianne, for the kind words. It's always a surprise, I find, how one book leads to the next. By the way, Susan's book is titled The Boy Who Dared. And you're right. It's excellent!
