My brief summary of the book
Eight Nazi-American men went on a secret mission from Germany to America. Their task is to sabotage the war industries of America to win the war. They have to blend among the citizens of the US to commit the crime. Though, one of these saboteurs is going to betray all these men. Will the mission go underway, or will it fail?
My thoughts
What a gripping, mind-blowing story! I never knew about Nazi saboteurs invading the United States. I learned many new things about WWII through this book. The author does an excellent job describing the details of the saboteurs, even talking about their thoughts, motivations, and a few of their private lives. The book was riveting; it was tough to put it down. It would be an excellent movie too!
My rating
