Nazi vs Jewish terrorists is a theme.The resurgence of something as monstrous as the Holocaust is difficult to imagine, but James Patterson brings the possibility into frightening focus. Easily blending reality with fiction, the story gives us a close up look at what is possible in a world that still has intolerance and a lack of understanding for the depth of horror and slaughter that occurred the first time around. Those who fail to remember history are doomed to repeat it, and the fourth Reich is a great example of that. The original war criminals, while at first suspected, have nothing to do with the events that are unfolding, although they meet to discuss it, and even applaud the current goings on. It is hard even for them to imagine who would be responsible at first, and it is no wonder that it takes the combined authorities some time to figure out who is at the helm of Dachau Two.
