Review # 1 was written on 2017-12-19 00:00:00 Barbars Spittle HANS BERND GISEVIUS is one of the few survivors of the group of Germans who actively plotted to do away with Hitler. His book provides unparalleled details and perspectives. One example ... ... On the Sunday before the beginning of the Polish campaign, I again visited Keitel and handed him graphically illustrated statistical evidence on the military-economic potentials of Germany and of the other World Powers. These statistics demonstrated clearly the tremendous military-economic superiority of the Western Powers and the tribulation we would face.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-12-22 00:00:00 Robert Ferraro I saw the movie, which was just okay for me. I thought maybe reading an insider's account would be more true to the real story, and although it seems to be, it lost me about 70% into the book. It wasn't as easy to follow as I thought it would be. There were some words that I literally looked up in a German dictionary. Having to do so, took away from the story, but I knew when I started reading it that it was going to be authentic which meant some words I wouldn't understand. I really wanted to like the story and root for the plot, but sadly, the only thing I ended up rooting for was the Penguins. Lots of drama, lots of excitement and definitely, lots of goals. So, I started my day with Valkyrie and ended with a win against the Rangers, 7 - 2 to be exact.
