Book Review: The Home Front by David Wickenden

     Donald, a retired WW2 vet, just received news of his terminal cancer. He's in his 90s and has lived a long life, but he doesn't want to go silently into the night. No, he needs to make a difference once more. However, at his age and in his condition that is easier said than done. When they turned on the TV and flipped it over to the news what he saw he almost couldn't comprehend. The Nazis he had helped liberate the Jewish from all those years ago had resurfaced in his home town and had blown up a synagogue. With the help of his friends he is able to spread his story of how he and those he fought with back then saved lives and the horrors they witnessed. One Neo-Nazi, Russell, is intent to silence Donald at any cost. Will he end him before the cancer and his message is spread? How high will the body count be? 

    I received a copy of this eBook from the author in exchange for an honest review. I have some regrets. There is so much politics in this book I had to physically force myself to continue reading more often than not. I was aware of the cancer and knew I would struggle with that aspect as my grandfather, who raised me, died from lung cancer in Oct 2022. Still, while that did give me the pause I knew it would my biggest complaint was all the politics. 

    I don't care about the authors opinion on the previous president trump. I don't care about his snide comments about his use of social media. I genuinely don't. If the book had all of the politics removed I probably would have genuinely enjoyed reading about an old vet having one last hurrah and making a difference. Especially with white supremist. There really is no place for that backwards thinking anymore. I want to let you know that those white supremist in this book are very stereotypical. As someone who is from the south it is mildly annoying that that is the depiction that they chose. But, to each their own. 

    Barring my complaints listed above the book is well written. I didn't come across typos or glaring grammatical errors which is always a plus.
