Synopsis
Historical fiction based extensively on a true story, the White Rose, set in Germany between 1920 and 1943. The roses are the children of Forchtenberg whose lives become entangeled in the changing politics from the years of the Republic through the rise of the Nazis and war. Young friends are separated, then reunited years later in tragic circumstances at Munich's Stadelheim prison. This gripping drama focuses on the Reich's war against the German people that handed out sentences of high treason as the legal solution to any resistance.
"...Very highly recommended reading from cover to cover." - The Midwest Book Review
"...highlights Gabbard's skill, that he can portray 'foredomed' characters so convincingly..."
- The Freedom Network
"Freedom Book of the Month... One work of fiction or non-fiction that we judge to be the most valuable, interesting new contribution to the literature of liberty."
