Reviews
"Sidney Kirkpatrick's Hitler's Holy Relics is narrative history at its very finest. Beautifully written, brilliantly researched, this spine-chilling true story had me gripped from first page until the last." --Alex Kershaw, author of The Bedford Boys, "A riveting narrative that is as exciting as a well-crafted novel. . . . Sidney Kirkpatrick paces his book about the case of the vanishing jewels with such skill that it grabs readers by the scruff of the neck and does not let go until the very last page." --Larry Cox, King Features Syndicate, "Hitler's Holy Relicsis a history buff's dream come true—it's both a thrilling page-turner and a work of outstanding original research. Mix together the Indiana Jones blockbusters with the best of the History Channel, add a dash of Dan Brown, and you getHitler's Holy Relics."-- Debby Applegate, Pulitzer Prize-winning author ofThe Most Famous Man in America , "If Kirkpatrick had presented this story as a novel, it would have been criticized as farfetched. Yet the facts, meticulously researched, speak for themselves. The Nazis' vast looting operations went far beyond a desire for mere riches. Hitler sought nothing less than the creation of a Holy Reich. Kirkpatrick's thriller-packed account of Walter Horn, art historian turned Army sleuth, may well prompt a critical reevaluation of Nazi ideology for a new generation of World War II scholars."--Digby Diehl, former editor of theLos Angeles Times book Reviewand co-author ofA Spy for All Seasons, "If Kirkpatrick had presented this story as a novel, it would have been criticized as farfetched.

You are locked into this true tale as Walter Horn—detective, soldier, art historian, and psychologist—tries to solve an intriguing and complex mystery that is not simply about the past but also resonates into the future."--Howard Blum, Edgar Award-winning author of ?American Lightning, "In Hitler's Holy Relics, Sidney Kirkpatrick takes the reader on a page-turning mystery, a suspenseful adventure story across a devastated post-war Germany, and-not least-an eerie, thought-provoking journey into the mystical origins of Nazism and the plans for a Fourth Reich. You are locked into this true tale as Walter Horn-detective, soldier, art historian, and psychologist-tries to solve an intriguing and complex mystery that is not simply about the past but also resonates into the future." --Howard Blum, Edgar Award-winning author of American Lightning, "A vivid true-crime narrative about a postWorld War II investigation meant to prevent Nazis still at large from using several venerable medieval artifacts to reconstitute the Reich. . . . Fast-moving and intriguing, in the vein of Raiders of the Lost Ark." --Kirkus Reviews, "A superbly written and incredible-but-true, larger-than-life tale of World War II plunder, skullduggery, mysticism, and madness." --Kenneth D. Alford, author of Nazi Plunder and World War II history consultant, "A superbly written and incredible-but-true, larger-than-life tale of World War II plunder, skullduggery, mysticism, and madness."--Kenneth D.

Hitler's Holy Relics paints one such story . . . complete with a bold hero, a post-apocalyptic backdrop, a subplot out of Indiana Jones, a treasure worth dying for, and a classic locked-room mystery at its heart. . . . A crackling good story." --Noah Charney, Artinfo.com
