What I am looking forwhat I desperately need, Mrs. Weissis a spy. Adolf Hitler is still a distant rumble on the horizon, but a Jewish spymaster and his courageous spies uncover a storm of Nazi terror in their own backyard. In the summer of 1933, a man named Adolf Hitler is the new and powerful anti-Semitic chancellor of Germany. But in Los Angeles, no-nonsense secretary Liesl Weiss has concerns much closer to home. The Great Depression is tightening its grip and Liesl is the sole supporter of two children, an opinionated mother, and a troubled brother. Leon Lewis is a Jewish lawyer who has watched Adolf Hitlers rise to powerand the increase in anti-Semitism in Americawith growing alarm. He believes Nazi agents are working to seize control of Hollywood, the greatest propaganda machine the world has ever known. The trouble is, authorities scoff at his dire warnings. When Liesl loses her job at MGM, her only choice is to work with Leon Lewis and the mysterious Agent Thirteen to spy on her friends and neighbors in her German American community. What Leon Lewis and his spies find is more chillingand more dangerousthan any of them suspected. Code Name Edelweiss is based on a true story, unknown until recent years: How a lone Jewish lawyer and a handful of amateur spies discovered and foiled Adolf Hitlers plan to take over Hollywood.

This was a fascinating and thought-provoking book. I appreciated how the plot took place in the time leading up to WWII during the Great Depression, because of that it was unlike any other WWII historical fiction book I‘ve read. Don‘t overlook the historical note, it is beyond interesting. I want to learn so much more about the characters portrayed in the book. This is definitely a book I‘d recommend to all historical fiction fans.

Mehso-so

The story was a little slow paced. There were spots of suspense. For a Christian fiction story there were a lot of secular things going on. Overall, it was a pretty good story.
DISCLAIMER: There was a lot of drinking, smoking, inappropriate dressing, and using feminine wiles to get information from men.

I received this book from LibraryThing for my honest review.
