Customer Reviews

This book is phenomenal

Honestly, you can't go wrong with Kershaw. I have read many WWII books and yet continue to learn about issues that are never mentioned in other books. Its a binge read, at least for me.

The Amazing Story of an Amazing Hero

What an excellent book Mr. Kershaw has written! Well-researched and superbly-written, The Liberator is a work of nonfiction that reads like a fiction thriller. By the end of the book, the reader feels as if he or she has spent time with Felix Sparks and now knows him personally. At times heart-breaking, at times exhilarating, The Liberator deserves to be listed in the pantheon of great World War II literature.
