Critics Review
A remarkable story that should be better known – James Owen * The Times *
Extraordinary and gripping – Ysenda Maxtone Graham * Mail on Sunday *
Extraordinary … many more people would have perished under the Third Reich were it not for the healing hands of … the little-known Felix Kersten * Strong Words Magazine *
Kersaudy shows the hidden Himmler, temperamental but inflexible, obstinate yet influenced by astrology, rational and irrational: a living contradiction. And Kersten used all his skills … for good and for humanity * Le Point *
François Kersaudy has sifted for years through German, Dutch, Swedish and Danish archives to tell us the story of a hero … grandiose in his actions, his goals and his results – Roberto Roveda * L’Unione Sarda *
