The Countess and the Nazis An American Family's Private War by Richard Jay Hutto

  I enjoyed this true story about a brave countess who fought the Nazis and even sacrificed her own life to save her children. It was a rather harrowing and miserable tale because of her unhappy marriage, hatred of living in Germany and her involvement in the wars. However, I thought that much of the book was about the stories of other aristocrats and royalty, although I liked that.  I especially enjoyed reading about the romance between King Zog of Albania and Countess Muriel’s friend Geraldine. I received this free ebook from  NetGalley  in return for an honest review.
