I didn't enjoy this as much as other Jack Reacher novels. Reacher was more of a jerk than usual, just looking for a fight at every turn, and his reasoning wasn't very clear.

In 1939-44, WWII was no more popular than the Korean War, the Vietnam War, or the Iraqi War. The only reasons we look back on it favorably are that we won and that we defeated Hitler, but U.S. citizens didn't want to get involved in an overseas war, and no one really cared about the Jews until after the war.
