Who has the Movie rights for this???

I wholeheartedly agree with the first review that this book would make an excellent film, if done right. This book was a Banger of a page turner; and splendid WWII Thriller/Mystery. I have yet to see the Movie: The Night of the Generals, but I think 🤔 I'll read it first if it's as good as this one was. Also noted was eerie similarities between Today's events and what happened in 1930s Germany, not only in America but in other countries as well.

An Amazing Book That Is Invaluable!

Why this great book has not been made into a Movie is beyond me. The author's "The Night of the Generals" made it to the big screen. However this book is one of the best historical novels that I have ever read about Hitler's Germany. It is not only well-written, intriguing, and spell-binding, but also gives alot of insight into the fanaticism of the SS officers of the Third Reich. I wish more people could read this book as an example of what could happen in America if the right-wing took complete control and then, blacks, Mexicans, and gays would follow the same tradegy as the Holocust. Yes, it could happen here and this book gives that possibility as much credence as Arthur Miller's Crucile did to warn against McCarthyism in the 1950's.
