Why on earth was so much of this written in present tense?? I almost put this down when it turned out the first chapter was just an excerpt. Overall, the prose was trying much too hard to be mysterious and sensationalistic, much more suited to a fiction novel then a history.
Also, there’s a way for books covering a specific event to provide enough context of WWII without also trying to cover the entire war. Maybe there wasn’t enough about this conspiracy to fill a book, but… a lot in here wasn’t necessary to the actual story being told.
