Reviews
"""This fictional autobiography of an undercover agent in Nationalist Socialist Germany portrays with unembellished clarity the horrors of the Nazi regime, contrasted to those whose faith in humankind--even when they perish--outlasts those terrible years. Highly recommended."" --ALAN SCOTT, CVO, CBE, former Governor of the Cayman Islands ""Totalitarianism has never seemed more subtle, insidious, and in the end more terrifying. An outstanding book, beautifully written and absorbing."" --J. K. TAPLIN ""Anley's nightmarish narrative about a nation led into infamy gallops on at a pace and style guaranteed to hold a reader's attention from the start. A powerful story of human survival against all odds and a triumph of hope over despair."" --RAYMOND ZALA"

Author Information
Vernon L. Anley was educated in Australia and in England. After leaving university he worked for the Ministry of Overseas Development in the West Indies before resuming an academic career in Europe and the Far East. He has coauthored a number of academic books, written travel guides on the Hejaz and Yemen, radio scripts, and articles on linguistics and education. A Carnival of Lies, a novel about the complex developments in Germany between 1939 and 1945, is an outstanding work from which no one interested in the subject can fail to profit. His visits to Hitler's death camps in Germany, Poland, and Austria raised questions about human nature and death which he attempts to answer in An Unholy Love.
