For young readers, one could easily play the near-miss attempts to kill Hitler as a straightforward thriller. The plots involve deception, gut-wrenching timing and concealed explosives: a bomb in a gift package, a rigged docent conducting a tour of captured Russian weaponry and an explosive briefcase spirited into the heart of Hitler's fortress…But Hendrix makes the bold and surprising decision to tell it as a tale of faith…What will catch the reader's eye immediately is Hendrix's striking three-color art. The book is not a panel-by-panel graphic novel, but rather an inventive combination of text blocks and illustration. Each spread has its own ingenious design, shuttling between the literal and the allegorical…
The first fully illustrated book that tells the true story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the pastor who conspired to kill
Hitler
“Intertwines two stories: the insidious rise of Hitler with his creed of hatred and Bonhoeffer's development as
an ethical thinker who believed that radical action was necessary, but that killing was a sin.” -New York Times
The dramatic true story of German pastor and Nazi resistor Dietrich Bonhoeffer comes to life in this award-winning graphic novel from John Hendrix.
Adolf Hitler's Nazi Party is gaining strength and becoming more menacing every day. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a
pastor upset by the complacency of the German church toward the suffering around it, forms a breakaway
church to speak out against the established political and religious authorities. When the Nazis outlaw the church,
he escapes as a fugitive.
Struggling to reconcile his faith and the teachings of the Bible with the Nazi Party's evil agenda, Bonhoeffer
decides that Hitler must be stopped by any means possible! In his signature style of interwoven handwritten
text and art, John Hendrix tells the true story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor who makes the ultimate sacrifice
in order to help free the German people from oppression during World War II.
Young readers will be thrilled by the near-miss attempts to kill Hitler. The plots involve deception, gut-wrenching
timing, and concealed explosives: a bomb in a gift package, a rigged docent conducting a tour of captured
weaponry, and an explosive briefcase snuck into the heart of Hitler's fortress. But Hendrix makes the bold and
surprising decision to tell it as a tale of faith. It makes this book unique, one as much about morality as it is
about the attempted murder of one of history's most heinous leaders.
