Liberated Reviewed in May Historical Novels Review

Liberated: A Novel of Germany, 1945 is reviewed in the May 2015 issue of the Historical Novels Review published by the Historical Novel Society in print and online. Here's an excerpt:

"Anderson flavors Liberated with the kind of language found in other noir novels and films, emphasizing the genre with a brutal and unethical crime for Kaspar to resolve. The novel exposure of an under-represented historical period in American history suggests that some of the Occupation forces were not the good guys bringing democracy to the previously dictator state. If you like reading about World War II, you will enjoy reading about its immediate aftermath. If you like the noir novels and films of the mid-20th century, you will enjoy the prose and the femme fatale of Liberated."
