Mission at Nuremberg is Tim Townsend's gripping story of the American Army chaplain sent to save the souls of the Nazis incarcerated at Nuremberg, a compelling and thought-provoking tale that raises questions of faith, guilt, morality, vengeance, forgiveness, salvation, and the essence of humanity.

An essential source of Nuremberg trial history
Revisado: 01-04-20
Before you purchase this book, you should know that it's more of a biography of Chaplain Gerecke than something dedicated entirely to his duties regarding the first Nuremberg trial. Don't let that discourage your decision to add this book to your Nuremberg reading list, as anything less would not do justice to the Chaplain Gerecke whose devotion to basic Christian decency was so well-regarded by Nuremberg's and the rest of the world's worst, including the nazi Julius Streicher (who is without question one of the most loathsome men who ever existed) and the murderers and rapists of Illinois' most notorious prison paid their respects to him (and in the most surprising and heartwarming manner, to which you will read of in this book.)
This book provides another point of view into the most pivotal trial in the history of the world and does so very well. While I was a bit put off that it took a while to get there, I came to appreciate why whenever it did reach such a point.

Boring, and was written like an amateur
Revisado: 08-03-19
Awkward dialog, boring story. Note to the author, when using character dialog for the sake of exposition, don't employ the kind used by Saturday morning cartoons like you did here. You didn't even have to use such an awkward form of exposition due to the multiple POV approach you took.
The performance on the other hand was good, despite the literary tripe they were working with. The only exception is whoever played Count Dooku. Really, couldn't you have found someone who came close to Sir Christopher Lee's baritone-bass voice?

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 5
Trapped inside a burning Lancaster bomber, 20,000 feet above Berlin, airman John Martin consigned himself to his fate and turned his thoughts to his fiancee back home. In a miraculous turn of events, however, the 21-year-old was thrown clear of his disintegrating airplane and found himself parachuting into the heart of Nazi Germany. He was soon to be captured and began his period as a prisoner of war.

A very important first-hand account of a POW
Revisado: 01-12-19
An excellent account by an RAF radio operator who was shot down over Germany in WWII and survived his ordeal. I enjoyed this all the way through. Worth it for WWII history buffs.

Okay, I'm done with Grisham
Revisado: 06-25-17
What an anticlimactic pile of slop. I've read Grisham since he began, and now it's obvious that he's just churning out this stuff for a paycheck.
