Code Name Edelweiss

By: Stephanie Landsem

Narrated by: Cady Zuckerman, Neil Hellegers

In the summer of 1933, a man named Adolf Hitler is the new and powerful anti-Semitic chancellor of Germany. But in Los Angeles, no-nonsense secretary Liesl Weiss has concerns much closer to home. The Great Depression is tightening its grip, and Liesl is the sole supporter of two children, an opinionated mother, and a troubled brother.

Leon Lewis is a Jewish lawyer who has watched Adolf Hitler’s rise to power—and the increase in anti-Semitism in America—with growing alarm. He believes Nazi agents are working to seize control of Hollywood, the greatest propaganda machine the world has ever known. The trouble is that authorities scoff at his dire warnings.

When Liesl loses her job at MGM, her only choice is to work with Leon Lewis and the mysterious Agent Thirteen to spy on her friends and neighbors in her German American community. What Leon Lewis and his spies find is more chilling—and more dangerous—than any of them suspected.

Code Name Edelweiss is based on a true story, unknown until recent years: how a lone Jewish lawyer and a handful of amateur spies discovered and foiled Adolf Hitler’s plan to take over Hollywood.

Excellent

Great writing, excellent reading. It kept me on the edge of my seat, and rooting for the god hits and angry at the bad guys. Very good read.

Riveting and educational

The characters were believable, the story was compelling, and the themes were exceptional. I learned a lot and highly recommend this book.

Very compelling story line

This is an amazing listen! I want to hear more of how they continued the efforts. Excellent use of historical facts and figures.

I can’t wait for more! I hope a second book is already in the works!

This author is a new favorite! I have over 600 titles in my library and I found this to be one of those rare books I didn’t want to stop listening to! The narration was excellent!

I did not know of this !

Brave people with lots of courage throughout this book. If not me, then, who? A very important statement.
