Damocles Sword [Hardcover]

Elleston Trevor (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1981

In the darkest days of WW II British Intelligence concocted a plan that would stymie the Germans. But it required a very brave man to carry it out, one who could infiltrate the elite SS corps.

Martin Benedict was the man, and all went well until his cover got blown. Remarkably, success was still possible-- but at an increased risk. Could he bring it off?

The answer reveals itself in an agony of suspense, which is no surprise, for Elleston Trevor is a master of the genre.

This review is from: Damocles Sword (Paperback)

I first read this in 1983,and several times since.
Martin Benedict is an English officer at the outbreak of war.
As a result of a personal tragedy,his distaste for Hitler's political system becomes very personal.
This is a great story with lots of detail about the ability of a civilized and moral person,for a greater purpose, to blend into the devil's lair of Nazi Germany.It's adventurous and suspenseful right from the start.
It's hard to put down once you get into it.I highly recommend it.
If the reader wonders at how such a formerly 'civilized'country
could come to personify human evil,this is a good read.
