This was an excellent look at a little remembered incident of World War II: when Hitler sent saboteurs in the United States. It was a ragtag team consisting of those who a double agent who wanted to sabotage the mission to get back at the Nazis, a true believer or two, a US citizen who wanted to work things out with his wife and some simple minded people who were recruited to join the mission in order to help Germany. The double agent sabotaged the mission, went to the FBI and then the book tells of their tales through the system all the way up to the Supreme Court. The book also exposes the impact on their case on the events of the war on terror during the Bush 43 years.

I prefer to grade on a letter grade and this one easily received an A+, which inducts it into my Hall of Fame. In addition to reading the book, I also listened to the audio version. An A+ grade converts to 5 stars on Goodread’s rating system.
