Hello, my name is Riss, and I am a Historical Fiction newbie. And my love for history grew three sizes....
I have always had a knack for anything about Germany, especially during the times before, during, and after World War I and World War II. I still do not know why. No, I am not a supporter of the evil dictator, but I just loved learning about Germany during Hitler's reign and after! The only connection I have to Germany is through my bloodline, and we are not connected to anyone as evil as that man.... ANYWAY, Greg Mitchell did not fail to remind me of how much I loved learning about the evilness that lived within Germany. I also loved his writing, and I loved how it follows different people affected by the Berlin Wall. This book also helped my expand my knowledge on this topic. I had the chance to read what JFK wanted and thought about the wall. This was just a chilling novel about the cold and cruel events that happened during the time of the Berlin Wall. |
