My reviews of the last two or three books in this series were very negative regarding the historical background, and sometimes other things. My review of this book forces me to use a four letter word---it's crap!

I know that is pretty extreme, but the only reasons I read this one was I hoped it got better and because I had the book. This book wasn't any better---in fact, it was much worse---and I won't be reading any more in this series.

Not only was the ending terrible, as it had no association with reality, but the author was on a sexism kick throughout the book. Did sexism exist in WW II? Of course it did. Did the author need to slap you in the face with it on almost every other page. No, she didn't!

Still, I wish I could post it here for the 35 other people who have it WLed, but it has water damage.

This book is another example of why you shouldn't believe the praise always found on the covers of books.
