"This is quite a time to be looking back at Nazis. A year after President Donald Trump defended Charlottesville protesters carrying swastikas, a staffer in the Department of Homeland Security resigned last month after his ties to white nationalist organizations were exposed. Whether or not this is the ‘30s all over again, Adolf Hitler seems to be on people’s tongues, making this a great time for John Hendrix’s deep look at a real-life German theologian who refused to let his conception of Christianity become an accessory to genocide against minorities. Hendrix’s beautiful blue-and-red layouts position the evolution of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s religious convictions against the historical tapestry of the Nazis’ rise. It would be a vivid read at any time, but feels especially relevant now.”
