THE NEW BOOK REVIEWS ORGANIZATION SELECTED THE COBBLER OF NORMANDY AS THE BEST
HISTORICAL FICTION BOOK OF 2007 LITERARY AWARD
The Cobbler of Normandy by Otto A. Berliner is about a World War II intelligence mission of Hitler's Atlantic Wall and a romantic encounter. It is about five characters whose love and devotion for their countries and humanity make them heroes and heroine capable of making extraordinary sacrifices. An American OSS agent, a British MI6 agent, a courier and recruiter of the Resistance and a German officer are at the center of an unfolding intelligence operation. The most venerable person is the cobbler, a well trusted member of the Resistance as well with the Germans. His status as an honest, crafted and wise elder enables him to build the least suspected operation of Allied Intelligence.
