I think most people have wondered if their family is harboring a deep, dark secret. Rarely, though, does it ever include Nazi spies. For Christine Kuehn, it actually did mean Nazi spies. And a bunch of them at that! She recounts the story in her book, Family of Spies, which is quite literally correct as far as titles go.
Kuehn explains how some very cryptic and evasive answers from her father and aunt for decades finally led to some rather uncomfortable revelations. I won’t give you too much to avoid spoilers, but I will say that this story is not about some small, tangential connection to Nazism. This family was in deep.
This book is best for folks who are not well versed in World War II. It’s a great gateway book for someone to hear names and get interested in more in-depth books on the main characters of the war. For World War II nerds, much of this will be well-trod information though with a whole new perspective.
