Negative Positive
Title: Convincing
Review: Like so many books, whether fiction or non-fiction, this one reminds you that our so-called modern world can be at least as savage as what we call the the Dark Ages. The author's fictional devices on the whole work, and the main characters are convincing. Making one of the protagonists a professor of German history in order to reveal some of the horrors appeared somewhat forced and synthetic. This is more than compensated for by the overall feel of historical truth. The story remains in the mind - the ultimate test of a good book in my opinion.
