Review
Outstanding Achievement recognition for a 2007 publication by the Wisconsin Library Association Literary Awards Committee "Suspenseful, rich in convincingly detailed incidents, and impeccably researched." Library Journal "A vast, flowing, unstoppable tale of World War II ... It is historical fiction at its best." Homer Hickam, author, Rocket Boys "Well researched and skillfully executed ... a highly readable work which is both informative and imaginative." The Historical Novels Review "A taut and twisting thriller with memorable flesh and blood characters ... Jacobson's clockwork plot draws the reader onto its roller coaster ride [and] clicks along at breakneck speed." James Conroyd Martin, award-winning author, Push Not the River and Against a Crimson Sky
