Loyalties in Conflict,
By
This review is from: Loyalties: A Novel of World War II (Hardcover)
Two couples lives are drastically effected by World War II; Americans Anna and Jonathan Talbot and Germans Ernst and Berthe von Hoffmann, are conflicted by intense emotions and loyalties. Each of the four represents a different outlook. Anna supports the Roosevelt administration whereas Jonathan sees FDR dragging America into an unnecessary war. Berthe is horrified by Nazi excesses while married to a loyal German submarine commander who becomes more and more hardened as the war drags on. Their lives become entwined against a background of world events set in Washington DC, Spain and Germany. Fleming uses this drama to explore the allies insistence on unconditional surrender and the effect on the course of the war. It is a very readable sprawling drama of politics, love, and war that delves into the daunting question of the effects of President Roosevelt's diplomatic policy with Germany and Russia.
