Into the Flames by Gerald N. Lund
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The last of the series - Excellent book. Highly recommend.
This entire series is great. Factually accurate when it comes to history, engaging when it comes to the fictional families and protagonist. Causes the reader to pause and think and compare to what is happening in America and the world today - SO many similiarities to 2019-2021. I fear what lies ahead for my beloved republic, but only for the sadness it will bring, not for the hope which i believe is still very much there, if we will turn from our ways.
This series follows the protagonist (son of a German family) and his life-long friendship with an American and how their families all interact and how they each react and behave in relation to events that surrounded the end of WWI and the rise of Hitler, just as WWII was about to begin. You get to see the various personalities and how they each see Hitler and the rise of the Third Reich, etc. Fascinating how we each *choose* our own paradigms in life.
I think for those who naturally like psychology, these books will also give psychological insight into personalities and characters, we the author's main stated purpose in writing these books is to show the various manners in which people react to certain given circumstances, such as the rise of Hitler. Each was unique.
After finishing this book I was left wanting 6 more books!
