Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Fred Berman’s performance in 'War of Shadows' is nothing short of captivating. His nuanced narration captures the urgency and fear that permeated every moment during Rommel's retreat. The story unfolds with a perfect blend of suspense and historical detail, making even the minutiae of intelligence operations feel crucial to the narrative. However, at times, the dense network of characters can be overwhelming, making it challenging to keep track of everyone. Despite this minor drawback, Gorenberg’s exploration of espionage and strategic warfare provides a fresh angle on World War II history that audiobook listeners are sure to find compelling.
