I have often wondered how a crazy man got a country to follow him. After reading this book I understand a little more how Adolph Hitler brainwashed an entire country.

Good historical fiction. Centers on a fictional character close to Hitler, as Hitler rises to power. It provides a good and historically accurate description of how Hitler gained power in Germany. Also shows through fictional characters how people who did not agree with Hitler's views, nevertheless kept following him.

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for this ARC!

In “Wolf” Herbert J. Stern does a remarkable job of turning historical monsters back into men. This isn’t to say that the Nazi leadership becomes sympathetic, but it does allow the reader to see and better understand how Hitler rose to power and how the average person could support him. What I appreciated most was the author’s attention to historical accuracy and his subtlety; in the opening chapters Hitler is introduced so quietly that the reader doesn’t realize who he or she is reading about at first. Readers who enjoy page-fueled time travel will welcome this lengthy work that covers the period from WWI to WWII.

I did not finish this book. I was bored, and I really don't know how else to explain why I'm giving it one star. I felt it had so much potential and it just fell flat. Not my book in the end. I was sad about it too.

Thankyou to NetGalley, Skyhorse Publishing and the authors, Herbert J Stern and Alan A Winter, for the opportunity to read an advanced readers copy of Wolf in exchange for an honest and unbiased opinion.
I was intrigued by the premise of the storyline, so I was quite eager to actually read this book.
Unfortunately, I found I had trouble getting into the storyline and maintaining interest.
Not a book for me.
