In World War II, American soldiers were shocked to discover thousands of German POW's carrying New Testaments. Christians serving Hitler? Never before undertaken in a novel, 'The Seduction of Eva Volk' explores the reality of this no-so-simple paradox from the German point of view.
Through the eyes of young Eva Volk, the alluring charm of the Hitler movement is personified in a lover. Desperately seeking wholeness in her broken world, she is quickly swept away by the passions of love and war...until she finds herself facing the consequences of blindness. Her's is a story that serves as a warning to us all.

Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

Baker has published eight historical novels and two books of Christian reflections. His first novel, 'A Journey of Souls,' was released in 2000 and re-released in 2004 as 'Crusade of Tears'-- a Christee Award nominee. His meticulously researched work is published variously in the U.S., the U.K., Ukraine, Russia and Germany. Baker's specialty is the discovery of the untold story. For 'The Seduction of Eva Volk,' Baker traveled throughout Germany where he interviewed such notables as Manfred Rommel--son of Fieldmarshal Rommel, and Johann Voss, author of 'Black Edelweiss,' as well as numerous combat veterans and those of the 'home front' with whom he has unique access. Baker writes from his small farm in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where he raises livestock with an interest in natural/organic methods and a passion for humane treatment. He holds a master's degree in divinity from the University of St. Andrews, Scotland. See his website for more information. www.cdbaker.com --Questo testo si riferisce alla paperback edizione.

5,0 su 5 stelle Superb Book for WW2 History Lovers
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 23 dicembre 2021

I could not put this book down. Characters are fully developed and change and grow through their various experiences in both prewar and wartime life. Great insight by the author is present throughout this well written story of two brothers, Wolf and Andreas, who both love the same woman. One becomes a hard SS soldier and the other sees the Nazi ideology as terribly flawed. Eva Folk changes once her eyes are opened to the cruelty of Nazi eugenics through her own husband's actions. Very realistic portrayals of the evolving thinking of doubters, weak willed pastors, and haters of Jewish people alike. Do not hesitate one second to buy this book. One of the best I've ever read!!!

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 23 febbraio 2014

Eva Volk is the heroine of the novel which depicts the questions of her Germany during the World War II; of the good, decent and even many Christian people of the Mosel River area in the Riesling grape growing country of Germany and also the government headed by Heir HItler. World war II Christian Germans often carried New Testaments even in combat. In the beginning of Hitler propaganda, he pretended to be Christian and support the Catholic Church in his flamboyant promises of Germany to be protected and follow God. Of course the German people believed his promises never suspecting the evil behind his words.

Eva is a teenage girl who is typical of a young girl liking boys and looking to her family for support and love...seeing an alcoholic Mother and a weak minister Father. She is infatuated with two brothers; one brother is good and kind, the other is adventurous and exciting. A forced sexual encounter causes her to choose the wrong brother for a husband. In daily life she becomes more conscious of the political happenings around her and begins to question 'what is the truth??'. Her husband is mean and abusive and a perfect fit for Hitler's military.

One must remember Germany was coming out of a great war where it was defeated the first time so Hitler was primed to have things go his way this time. It is no wonder the average German was caught up in Hitler's Movement. It was easier to believe the propaganda than what they saw and heard from neighbors and friends even their Jewish friends. Their radio was blocked so German new was all they had and it was controlled by Hitler. The people had ONLY one view and that is what their government told them to believe.

I really got into this book and would recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about World War II and Germany. Rarely do we get the perspective of the typical German family...the book ends on a happy note if possible from such a horrendous time in our world history. I downloaded mine onto my Kindle from Amazon and you need to read this book now for a genuine good read.

5,0 su 5 stelle One of my favorite books ever, so theologically rich and insightful and exquisitely written
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 22 marzo 2020

This book is readable enough to mesmerize a teenager, yet theologically deep enough to use as a required textbook in graduate school. As a professor of Moral Authority, I find it extraordinarily helpful because the content reveals the mindsets that entrap people and the singularity of how truth sets people free.

The whole book features gorgeous sentences. I intend to use this book as a text for a writing class as well.

And the quotes at the beginning of each chapter are well selected and historical. Each sets the tone for what the chapter has to say.

I savored this book for 4 days, then burst into tears and wept when it was all done.

There is much more to say, but I do not want to offer any spoilers. Just take the title seriously and follow the author's instructions to "know the characters and find something of yourself in them."

5,0 su 5 stelle I can't stop thinking about this book
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 15 settembre 2016

If you have ever wanted to know how the good people of Germany, the overwhelming majority of whom professed to be Christians, could have supported Hitler, then read this book. Told through the life of a girl from a small village, this book gives insight into the thoughts of the average German, their resentment over the unfairness of the Treaty of Versailles and the hope that a patriotic and charismatic man inspired. You feel the struggle of a German officer who thinks that the rumors he hears about what Hitler is doing to the Jews may be true, and if so, how wrong it is, but yet feels compelled to continue to fight under the banner of the swastika to defend his homeland and his fellow soldiers from what he believes is the even greater threat and barbarity of the Bolsheviks. This is by far the best book I've read this year because of the questions that it raises of how we can blind ourselves individually and collectively.

3,0 su 5 stelle Something different
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 27 ottobre 2013
Acquisto verificato
Written (I think) from a Christian perspective, this novel's purpose seems to be an explication of how the ordinary German was brought into the fold of Nazi belief. The title reveals the author's belief that the generally Christian population of Germany was "seduced" Eva Volk (Eve...the first woman...Volk...German for "folk") is a young woman whose father is an evangelical pastor and whose mother was expecting a "better" life. Along with a younger brother, she lives in the time between wars and struggles with ordinary problems and the choice of suitors. The setting is a small town in the Rhineland and the daily life of its inhabitants is well done.

The perspective doesn't vary and the explanations as to "why" Germany fell into the clutches of evil seem logical and normal. The start of each chapter is a quote from Catholic, Protestant and Civil leaders, many from the Allied side as well as German personalities. These include Eisenhower, Truman and Churchill. It is possible to see that this book could be an apology for the German acceptance of the Nazi Empire. Along with those infamous quotes, much of the book deals with the reasons for German embrace of hatred of Jews, bombing of civilians and concentration camps...the Allies did it first.

This somewhat unpleasant aspect of the book is one reason it is unsettling. Poor editing and historical oddities don't help.
