Relying on interviews with survivors and published documents, author Bartoletti imagines the true story of 17-year-old Helmuth Hübener, who was imprisoned in October 1942 for distributing anti-Nazi leaflets. Helmuth recalls, through flashbacks, his Mormon childhood and growing mistrust of Hitler's regime. Secretly listening to BBC radio broadcasts, Helmuth attempts to reveal the truth about Hitler but consequently suffers beatings, torture and imprisonment. A detailed chronology, a bibliography and numerous black-and-white photographs are included.
