In the tradition of Herman Wouk, author of Winds of War and War and
Remembrance, the novel Sins of the Fathers is the thoroughly
researched historical sequel to Wolf. History hinged on a call as
the German high command waited for Hitler's order to invade
Czechoslovakia. That was the signal that would launch their revolt
to bring down the Reich. Every detail of the coup was in place.
Access roads to Berlin would be blocked. The city sealed.
Communication centers taken. A commando squad sixty hand-picked men
were ready to storm the Chancellery and seize Hitler. The only open
question: to try Hitler as a traitor or execute him on the spot.
Sins of the Fathers is the eye-opening novel based on historical
facts of the efforts of German military leaders, career civil
servants, and clergy to solicit England's assistance to bring down
the tyrant in 1938. When Prime Minster Neville Chamberlain refused
to meet with them, they turned to Winston Churchill, who secretly
supported their cause. Armed with a strongly worded letter from the
future prime minister, they waited for Hitler's telephone call
ordering German troops to invade Czechoslovakia the signal for
their uprising. But the call did not come. Instead, Prime Minister
Chamberlain went to Hitler's apartment in Munich only to bow to the
dictator's will. The invasion was over before it began and with
that, so was the coup. Flying home, Chamberlain announced he had
obtained "peace for our times." Sins of the Fathers the sequel to
Wolf about Hitler's rise to power tells the dramatic true story of
the foolish prime minister that undermined the coup to topple the
regime, delivered Czechoslovakia to Hitler, saved the Fu hrer's
life, and paved the road to World War II.
