The story and the people who are profiled are interesting... I found it curious that Pastor Trocme, who is described as a devout Christian, seems to lose his faith toward the end of the story, and that his wife Magda apparently was never a believer at all...?
The author is not a Christian, and as such, miracles were explained away with "good luck" or a belief in God, rather than the actual Person/Power of God.
It's written by an ethicist, not a historian, and the book itself becomes a bit repetitive and tedious.
