Beautifully illustrated book about the rise of the third reich and the many attempts on Adolph Hitler’s life. The content is good, truthful and might be a good offering to young teens so they can begin to wrap their minds around our worlds sordid past. The illustrations are amazing. The two/three color pallet was perfection! I adore this book. My only complaint is the authors notes at the end seemingly trying to compare President Trump to Hitler. It’s tiresome and untrue. I urge him to pay attention to the facts. To simply pretend they don’t exist is not only arrogant but ignorant.
Bonhoeffer is one of those subjects that I am continually fascinated by. I have read a number of books by and about Bonhoeffer including two others this year. I did not walk into The Faithful Spy blind.Even though I know it isn’t necessarily true, I tend to think of graphic novels as oriented toward young adult readers. In other words, a simplified perspective. But like Hendrix’s book on John Brown, the presentation of Bonhoeffer is complex.Despite my long reading list about Bonhoeffer, I honestly, think that The Faithful Spy may have more clearly laid out how Hitler rose to power than any other book on Bonhoeffer that I have read. (Or at the least, I actually understood it this time.) Because Hitler has been talked about a lot lately I was paying attention to how The Faithful Spy told the story of Hitler’s rise. A meme on Facebook recently was talking about Hitler being voted into power, but as Faithful Spy makes clear, that is a partial truth. Hitler was elected, but only after he had stolen power and circumvented the democratic process that was in place.As with any graphic novel, the art plays a significant role. There is a lot more text than many graphic novels. This is not a comic book with a number of frames per page. This is mostly text (often a couple hundred words per page) with illustrations and font changes for emphasis and direction. I am not an expert on graphic novel art, but I enjoyed this. Hand drawn letters are never going to be as easy to read as machine print, but this was pretty clear.I am glad I got the hardcover version of this. That made it easier to read and fully enjoy multi-page layouts. And once I was done, I passed it on to a friend that I often exchange books.The focus of the book is Hitler’s rise to power along with Bonheffer’s basic story. Because of that focus there are things like the Barmen Declaration where The Faithful Spy hints a larger role for Bonhoeffer than he really had. Bonhoeffer was important, but he was not central in the Confessing Church.I was pleased that the Faithful Spy did make space for the role of the Black Church played in helping Bonhoeffer reconceive of the role of the church. Several books I have read on Bonhoeffer do not seem to understand how important the year in NYC studying at Union Seminary, but more important attending Abyssinian Baptist Church was to how Bonhoeffer understood the church’s role of faithful witness during persecution.Obviously, a graphic novel is not going to replace a full biography. For that, I still recommend either Charles Marsh’s Strange Glory or Schlingersiepen’s Dietrich Bonhoeffer 1906-1945. But this is a good introduction if you do not know a lot about Bonhoeffer and this is a good introduction to the rise of Hitler and how at least some Christians historically have understood the role of violence on behalf of Christian belief.
This book! I’ve been trying to figure out what to say about The Faithful Spy since I finished it. It’s an exceptional piece of work. A graphic novel(but not) that tells the story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer(and others) and his part in the plot to kill Hitler. It also gives you a clear picture on how Hitler came to power. The artwork itself sucks you right in and never feels overwhelming. If you are a history fan, an art fan, or someone who wants to read about a person who made choices for the greater good against such evil read this book! It is beautifully written, engaging, and a reminder of what good can do. Since closing the book I have so many thoughts still going through my head. Have a box of tissues nearby. My 14-year-old and 11-year-old will be reading this book.
As a fan of John Hendrix's work, a follower of Christ, and someone interested in Bonhoeffer's life, I was thrilled when I found out this book was being made. Months later, when I finally had my hands on it, my expectations were exceeded. I love learning about history, but as a busy mom, I don't currently have interest in long novels or biographies. I'm an artist and visual learner so having the expertly-edited text paired with John's powerful art helped me to really appreciate what I didn't learn about WWII and what I can continue to learn from history and Bonhoeffer's life and death.I would recommend this book to anybody over 12 years old. Especially Jr./High school students who might seem less interested in learning about WWII or are bit reluctant to read historical/non-fic novels on their own. The art and title are a great hook, and the way the author so concisely described Hitler's rise to power could keep the reader from losing interest.Another reviewer commented on the author's note in the back, saying it was "seemingly trying to compare President Trump to Hitler." I would like to add that I wondered that myself, too, even though Trump was not named, but, to use that comparison perhaps misses the point of what Bonhoeffer stood and died for. After thinking about the contemporary world leaders some like to compare to Hitler, I continued on to ponder the condition of my own heart. I believe the author's intent was not to vilify current world leaders but to caution each reader and society as a whole not to forget the lessons we should be learning from history. Bonhoeffer stood for Christ, and Christ is way bigger than any president, king or dictator. We can choose the way of Christ, or the way of the world. I'm far from perfect, so I'll keep aiming to choose the way of Christ.Mr. Hendrix, Thanks for putting this book out into the world.
I love this story of one of the most inspiring Christian heroes of modern history. Maybe a little in depth for my 8 year old, but he will grow into it ;)The tri-color theme is beautiful and adds some major intensity to the feel of the book.
A friend told me about this book and I went ahead and ordered it for my kids to read - of course, I planned to read it as well. I really enjoyed it and finished it over the course of a day. My 10 year old daughter is currently working her way through it.The visuals are great and it’s nice to have an intro into these great and horrible events that is understandable and appropriate for young children. While they get a general idea of this era in school, this a great supplement that is very personal and focused.
