A gripping narrative, adeptly developing Bonhoeffer's character and exploring his struggle to reconcile his pacifism with being part of the conspiracy to assassinate Hitler...[An] insightful, compelling account. -- Kirkus Reviews [A] tragic, inspirational, and quite unusual tale of a man who was the moral center of a resistance movement that, though it failed, continues to live on in international memory. -- Booklist (starred review) Offers a lucid history of the rise of Nazi Germany and a dramatic account of one man's resistance to evil. -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) A fascinating biography of the German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer...It's deep stuff for children, but McCormick, who has already tackled child prostitution and genocide makes it work. She gracefully elucidates the major influences on Bonhoeffer's life, stressing his moral dilemmas and his decision to 'speak out for those who cannot speak.' -- New York Times Book Review
