It's my tradition to read at least one holiday-themed book during Christmas. I picked up this one last year at a library book sale and as Christmas closed in I picked it off my shelf on December 24th to give it a try. WWII interests me and it was a really short book, so I finished it, but after a few chapters I was pretty sure I was not going to like it. It was too preachy, not all that well written, and very predictable. In short, don't bother.
