The Boy Who Went To War : The Story Of A Reluctant German Soldier In WWII
by Giles Milton

This should have been a promising book but it, unfortunately, fell short of its goal. Giles Milton writes about his family and father-in-law living under Hitler's regime. Since they were Christians, it's interesting to see how they viewed the Fuhrer. The entire family was anti-Nazi and they got away with it for as long as possible.
I couldn't tolerate the writing. It seems quite juvenile and is loaded with grammatical and spelling errors. The author is no slouch in writing books; he has written quite a few and I have read many of them. The Boy Who Went To War is not like his others, which is a shame.
Not recommended.
