The balance of history - as we know it - hinged on one clarion call. It was September 1938 and high-ranking German military leaders hovered about the phone, waiting for word that would catapult them to end the tyrannical Nazi regime terrorizing Germany for five years. Every element of the coup was covered. Access roads to Berlin would be blocked, the city surrounded. Communication centers seized. A commando squad––sixty handpicked men–– was ready to storm the Chancellery and capture Hitler. The only open question: to try Hitler as a criminal or assassinate him on the spot? Their green light would come the moment Hitler ordered troops to cross into Czechoslovakia.

Sins of the Fathers is the eye-opening historical novel––based on true facts––of the great lengths that German military leaders, career civil servants, and clergy went to solicit England’s public voice to challenge Hitler's bellicose plans that would tip the scales of German officers torn between an oath to Hitler and what was morally right. But P.M. Chamberlain would not meet. Instead, they turned to Winston Churchill, who supported their cause. Armed with a strongly worded letter from the future PM, they awaited the call to initiate Hitler’s overthrow.

On the very eve of the coup, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain undermined the resistors when he met Hitler in Munich on the Czech crisis and bowed to the Führer’s will. Flying home, Chamberlain announced he had obtained “peace for our time.”

Sins of the Fathers––the sequel to Wolf about Hitler’s rise to power - tells the dramatic story of the Prime Minster who put his trust in Hitler’s word. In so doing, he saved the Führer’s life and paved the road to World War II.

In the great tradition of Herman Wouk, author of Winds of War and War and Remembrance, Wolf is a thoroughly researched-and-illustrated historical novel about a man who is not yet a monster . . . but will soon become the ultimate one: Adolf Hitler.

Perhaps no man on Earth is more controversial, more hated, or more studied than Adolf Hitler. His exploits and every move are well-documented, from the time he first became chancellor and then dictator of Germany to starting World War II to the systematic killing of millions of Jews. But how did he achieve power, and what was the makeup of the mind of a man who would deliberately inflict unimaginable horrors on millions of people?

Meet Friedrich Richard, an amnesiac soldier who, in 1918, encounters Hitler in the mental ward at Pasewalk Hospital. Hitler, then a corporal, diagnosed as a psychopath and helpless, suffering from hysterical blindness, introduces himself as Wolf to Friedrich and becomes dependent upon Friedrich for assistance, forming an unbreakable bond between the two men.

Follow Friedich-our protagonist-who interacts with real people, places, and events, through the fifteen-year friendship that witnesses Hitler turn from a quiet painter into a megalomaniacal dictator. Using brand-new historical research and never-before-seen photos to construct a realistic portrait of the evolving Hitler, Wolf will satisfy, by turns, history buffs and fiction fans alike. And as this complex story is masterfully presented, it answers the question of how a nondescript man became the world's greatest monster.
