4.0 out of 5 stars An account of the Swiss's "neutrality" during the WW II., December 4, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The Swiss Account (Mass Market Paperback)

Erdman's does a very good job of explaining the Swiss government role in building Germany's war machine in a fact based novel. Fictional characters make this factual story easy and enjoyable to read. Footnotes are scattered throughout the book to make one realize that the Swiss government's idea of "neutrality" must be that they will trade with anyone to make a quick buck.

We've all seen hundreds of books and films about world war 2, but here's one that takes you inside. This historical fiction provides the readed with an unfamiliar look at the war. The origins of the CIA and KGB, along with German intelligence are all depicted in this well documented novel

Erdman is a man of many talents. But it seems like his fictional writing talents were diluted in order to make room for some pinches of historical data. It's not a ponderous read nor a fact-o-rama. In fact, he does do a good job keeping everything fairly easy and balanced for the reader. It's just that he usually does better.
