"In the summer of 1933, a man named Adolf Hitler is the new and powerful anti-Semitic chancellor of Germany. But in Los Angeles, no-nonsense secretary Liesl Weiss has concerns much closer to home. The Great Depression is tightening its grip and Liesl is the sole supporter of two children, an opinionated mother, and a troubled brother. Leon Lewis is a Jewish lawyer who has watched Adolf Hitler's rise to power--and the increase in anti-Semitism in America--with growing alarm. He believes Nazi agents are working to seize control of Hollywood, the greatest propaganda machine the world has ever known. The trouble is, authorities scoff at his dire warnings. When Liesl loses her job at MGM, her only choice is to work with Leon Lewis and the mysterious Agent Thirteen to spy on her friends and neighbors in her German American community. What Leon Lewis and his spies find is more chilling--and more dangerous--than any of them suspected. Code Name Edelweiss is based on a true story, unknown until recent years: How a lone Jewish lawyer and a handful of amateur spies discovered and foiled Adolf Hitler's plan to take over Hollywood."--Amazon website.

I am a big fan of World War II era historical Christian fiction, and Code Name Edelweiss is one of the best books that I have read in this category. The plot is very original being based on the work of attorney Leon Lewis and his undercover agents in Los Angeles, focusing on the beginnings of Lewis' work to get authorities to recognize the threat posed by Adolf Hitler. The release date, while possibly unintentional, coincided with this year's celebration of Purim from the book of Esther in the Bible. Liesl Weiss must decide between her personal safety and that of her family and becoming one of Leon Lewis' operatives, working undercover for the Friends of New Germany. Ultimately it comes down to deciding if not her, then who; if not now, then when. In other words, might she have been born for such a time as this? A question Queen Esther had to face, and one we might also need to respond to.
Code Name Edelweiss also examines the reasons people might join a group whose beliefs and methods might in truth be contrary to their own. Otto Wilhelm's work with the boys of the Silver Shirts, including Liesl's brother, shines a spotlight on this theme which may also bear examining in our current culture. As such, I recommend this book to both male and female readers.
I am very grateful to have received a complimentary copy of Code Name Edelweiss from Tyndale House Publishers via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
