When Nazi's became medical professors...
The Caduceus and the Swastika, is a thriller, filled with suspense and horror but also an endearing tale that follows the harrowing flight of three medical students as the Nazi's began systematic ethnic cleansing at the University of Breslau Medical School.
Max, Rebecca, and Stats want only to learn medicine, but the Reich has its own plans for their chosen profession, and still darker plans for them.
What reviewers are saying
"Hacker expertly mixes fictional characters with historical figures and brings them all to life with marvelous effectiveness, especially through vivid, often pungent dialog. This is a tense, vividly memorable novel, not to be missed.Highly recommended.
"Steven Hacker’s fantastic debut novel, The Caduceus and the Swastika, begins quietly enough, focusing on the small-scale academic and romantic challenges of Max, Rebecca, and Stats, a trio of medical students at the University of Breslau’s medical school. But the plot and the cast of characters steadily expand as the perspective becomes more wide-angle and begins to take in the dark forces of Nazism and rabid nationalism beginning to convulse Germany. The Reich begins to implement severe racist guidelines for the medical profession, and the trio of students and the larger cast are caught up in that tide of barbarism." Teresa Devine, Historical Novel Society Reviewer
