Cradles of the Reich
Jennifer Coburn (Sourcebooks, 2022)
"The horrors of Nazi Germany are no secret and there's no shortage of World War II literature around, but Coburn manages to peel back layer after layer of shocking misconduct, maintaining suspense all the while…. Every historical fiction novel should strive to be this compelling, well-researched and just flat-out good." – AP News
"When most of us think of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, we rightly recall the Holocaust.... But there were other, less-familiar atrocities that took place, one of which involved not death camps but birthing farms where young women and teenage girls were impregnated to produce blond, blue-eyed babies for SS families to adopt. I confess that all of this was new to me as I read Cradles of the Reich." - The Washington Post
