The book is so extensively referenced via various histories, and primary sources. At the back is an excellent glossary of terms, useful for both the novice and someone more adept with military terms. Alongside this is a timeline which brings out the whole story of via a chronology leading up to war. Overall this is a must have, fantastic account of the invasion of Norway, taking in comprehensive relevant angles.

Impressively informative, expertly presented, and inherently interesting read that will be especially appreciated by both academia and the non-specialist general reader with an interest in the World War II European Theatre operations.

This book to me seems very good, and I’ve learnt quite a bit I hadn’t known before, credit to the two authors Kluger and Evans for a very well researched book. Would I recommend this book? Yes, if you want to learn about the personalities involved it’s a really good book.
5 stars

There is an incredible amount of detail here and a good job is done of showing how someone could become one of the most reviled people in history. The book has documents from Hoss where he tries to downplay his involvement in what happened at the same time as admitting that some atrocities happened describing power struggles between him and fellow SS members. It is chilling that he mentions the building of the gas chambers matter of factly and seems to view what he has done as just following orders. This is fascinating and harrowing.

It's not a long book, but it contains gripping details, especially as the war turned into a disaster for the Germans. A good read.
