On Wings Like Eagles: The Last Days of Dietrich Bonhoeffer

The year is 1943. War rages across Europe. A prominent Lutheran pastor, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, is in prison, suspected of treason against the Reich. The SS sends Rolf Reitmann, an officer in the panzer corps and a boyhood pal of Bonhoeffer s, to investigate. As Allied bombs fall on Berlin and Reitmann digs deeper into his old friend s past, he finds himself face-to-face with the deadly, secret world of the Resistance, and learns that there is far more to Bonhoeffer, and even to life itself, than he had ever imagined.
Clevenger s novel, On Wings Like Eagles, is a tale of blood and war, of deception and doubt, of revenge and redemption. It s a story of one man s ultimate sacrifice, and another man s painful journey to the truth. Above all, it s a story about God s grace and the cost of discipleship.
