Praise for Hitler in the Crosshairs:

"Here's a captivating tale of valor and devotion--to God, to spouse, to country--woven with newly disclosed details of an attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler and the circuitous journey of Hitler's personal pistol. A masterful piece of historical detective work!"

--Lee Strobel, New York Times bestselling author of The Case for Christ

"Readers of Hitler in the Crosshairs will not be able to put down this page-turning and remarkable story. From the initial chapter until the book's concluding words, this fascinating account of courage, faith, and heroism is as gripping as it is deeply satisfying."
