Fantastic!

Despite its relatively short length, this is a richly detailed, thoroughly researched, and compellingly told story. If this were a physical book, I would say it is a "page-turner" as it kept my full attention the entire time. The narrator was an excellent choice for this material. His command of German pronunciation, when called upon, was generally spot on. I normally don't appreciate narrators' attempts at accents or regional dialects because they usually sound fake, and it becomes a distraction. So, the first time I heard the narrator quoting one of the German protagonists speaking English with a German accent, I held my breath, fearing he would mess it up and ruin the whole experience. But it turned out that the narrator is quite good at accents and nailed it as well as a professional actor would. Later, the result was equally good when quoting an Irish person in the book. Overall, this is an outstanding, expertly and entertainingly narrated book and well worth the time of anyone wishing to know more about this fascinating but relatively obscure footnote in WWII history.
