My latest book, In The Fields Of The Eagle, tells the story of Klaus Volk, a teenager in Nazi Germany of the 1930s. While the book is historical fiction, the events are real, and Klaus is inspired by some real-life teenage rebels called the Edelweiss Pirates. They engaged in sabotage, pranks, and eventually even armed rebellion against the Nazis. These little known heroes of history deserve to be known, so aside from writing a book about them, I wanted to share the actual history of 1930s Germany that led to their creation, and what they did.
