TREASON & TRIUMPH delivers a realistic, compelling, and often disturbing view of World War II. Author Bonnie Toews uses her razor-sharp insights to graphically depict the physical horrors of war. With brutal honesty, she explores the emotional and spiritual impact on every human being touched by war, exhibiting raw emotion, gentle compassion, and infinite wisdom, such as: "Everything we do, everyone we meet becomes a part of us . . . Almost like scattered parts of our soul coming home to roost. For a moment, everything fits, and we belong . . . to that moment . . . or to that person." TREASON & TRIUMPH should be required reading in every high school, college, and university.

This book is a great read. It's a sleeper most would overlook, but once into the pages, it grabs you and holds you until the end. The dialogue moves the action and the action is a roller-coaster of surprises that will keep you turning pages as the plot rips along with murder, intrigue, double-crosses, and even a sex slave-something for every reader. This book is a riveting story incorporating historical detail of World War II. Well done, Bonnie Toews. It has my five-star recommendation.

TREASON & TRIUMPH is one of those novels that sneaks up on you, tricks you with sly surprises, then hits you in the gut with a roundhouse punch. In the style of Ken Follet and Allen Furst, this WWII tale of intrigue, espionage, heroism, love and betrayal has a cast of believable characters and a layered plot that will keep you guessing to the end.
The discerning reader will also note that Ms. Toews has done her homework. The WWII locales, events, and historical figures are drawn with painstaking accuracy. As the title implies, this novel hits all the buttons — romance, despair, suspense, joy, and, of course, triumph. Be prepared to shed several buckets of tears.
This is historical fiction at its best. Let’s hope more is on the way.
