Soldiers of Freedom: The WWII Story of Patton’s Panthers and the Edelweiss Pirates by Samuel Marquis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A dramatic and riveting tale that resonates on many levels...
Award-winning and bestselling author Samuel Marquis weaves a powerful historical fiction (based on a World War II true story). With fascinating twists and turns it will easily captivate the reader from the first page to the last. The author paints a dramatic and riveting tale that resonates on many levels in a very vivid and convincing way.
Soldiers of Freedom is a WWII Story of Patton's Panthers and the Edelweiss Pirates. It’s the true story of the 1944-1945 War in Western Europe and the final Allied struggle to conquer Nazi Germany. While I was familiar with Patton's Panthers, the author highlights other aspects of this horrendous time in human history that I was unfamiliar with. Not only was this a great read and an education, it was written in a very balanced and unbiased way.
Soldiers of Freedom had every element a good story should have. An interesting plot, attention to detail, but best of all fleshed out, well-written and well-rounded character development. There’s an abundance of well-illustrated scenes that make you feel like you are right there in the story, and that’s something I look for in a good book.
It’s one of those stories that come along once in a while that makes you want to read it non-stop until you get to the end. I’m giving nothing further away here. And this, I hope, will only add to the mystery and enjoyment for the reader!
I’ll be looking forward to reading more from Samuel Marquis in the future. I would highly recommend this book. A well-deserved five stars from me.
