There’s a good review for Randall Hansen’s Disobeying Hitler in Review Canada magazine:
“A masterful study of the period…. Disobeying Hitler is a model of the genre known as literary non-fiction. An author’s ability to write well will transport his or her book from the desks of scholars into the hands of the educated general public. Hansen has a firm grasp of the tools: he varies his sentence structure; he has a fine eye for the telling detail; he understands the effectiveness of pointed descriptions, revealing anecdotes and direct quotation. He knows the value of storytelling. It is enlightening to realize that 70 years after the Second World War, diligent scholarship can still enhance our understanding of that violent era. We are fortunate that Randall Hansen has turned what might have been a dull compilation of military history into a fine narrative with broad appeal.”
