Synopsis

In the first months of 1936, Adolf Hitler risked everything by ordering his untrained military to reoccupy the Rhineland. It was a bluff. The Germans would have been forced to retreat if the French or British had offered the slightest opposition. But the bluff succeeded. History changed decisively. Hitler quieted the opposition at home, and marched the world relentlessly on, to the edge of destruction and beyond.

A Prophet Without Honor examines that lost chance in detail. The result is a compelling story full of intrigue, danger, romance, and action, culminating in the reckoning that Hitler might have faced, had events taken a different course. It's a hugely entertaining story, written in epistolary style (though journal entries, letters, excerpts from biographies, etc.) with a richly textured sense of time and place.

Alternative history. Another entertaining read told in a unique style - correspondence. Ike, not president, but a military attache in Berlin, involved in espionage. Wrap your mind around that if you will. Other real life persona and others not so. Events based on what ifs, hence alternative history.......more

Karl is the son of Heinrich Von Haydenreich and the step-son of Rosamunde. Heinrich and Rosamunde -- theirs was an epic love story, which most of their family frowned upon. Karl, the son of Rosamunde's heart, was loved by his step-mother just as much as his birth mother would have. She cared for him......more
