Aryan, The Last Prussian

About the Book

This is the story of a Prussian family, and their values. Duty, honor and country, as with all patriots, were a Prussians most precious values—a sacred trust. Karl von Braun, the last Prussian, is born into an historical period of political and national turmoil, and is morally trapped between Prussian tradition and National Socialism.

Various scholars have labored to explain the reasons for the rise of Adolf Hitler and National Socialism. This fictional novel considers the depression that followed World War I, philosophical principles, the effects of the Treaty of Versailles, and the tradition of Prussian militarism.

About the Author

My first novel, “Aryan, the last Prussian,” focused man and society, the second novel, “Over the Rainbow,” was concerned with man and religion, and this novel, “Heroic Hearts,” focuses on the pursuit of knowledge. I offer my gratitude to Bryant Cramer, M.D., Ph.d, for his guidance, and Ms. Michelle Louie for her contribution to the plot and characterization of this novel.
