World War II Editorial Review
'Reading Ritchie Boy Secrets is like uncovering a hidden chapter of World War II history. The book delves into the story of a force of immigrants and refugees who contributed greatly to the Allies' victory over the Axis forces. The author has done a splendid job of research, and the book is full of details on the training provided to these amazing people who went through significant training in a way we had not known. Many of them went on to become very productive and even famous after the war. Ritchie Boy Secrets provides a great piece of history regarding the war, highlighting the willingness of the survivors to return to a country they escaped and what they went through. These were true heroes.'
