Reviews
* Engagingly told...Townsend illuminates a hidden gem of World War II history and brings to light the life and career of a truly heroic Christian man...an important book. It deserves a wide audience. * Christianity Today *
* Gripping. * Daily Mail *
In a clear, gripping, and extensively researched narrative, Townsend raises the hard questions of good and evil, forgiveness and retribution; and, also, whether these killers, obeying orders and ignoring morality, deserved spiritual succor in what were, for many of them, their final days. There is much to ponder and bemoan in this detailed report of the trials and of a brave, kindly pastor moving through the "most frightening experience of his life" * Booklist *
