The Trumpets of Jericho is really two novels in one, the rousing story of one of the more remarkable episodes in the annals of Jewish resistance to the Nazisthe prisoner uprising at the Auschwitz- Birkenau death camp in October, 1944and the just as inspiring account of the four young Jewish women arrested and brutally tortured for their role in the revolt. In Trumpets, J. Michael Dolan, a lifelong student of the SS Vernichtungslagers, or extermination camps, has produced a work that he believes will move you as deeply as its subject has him. Aside from painting the most definitive picture to date of this particular slice of history, he explores, among other themes, religion and the existence of God, the psychology of genocide, friendship and romantic love, sexual and other pathologies, the nature of good and evil, right and wrong. Above all, he shows how the most monstrous single crime ever committed was in the end no match for the indomitability, the grandeur of the human spirit.

Auschwitz prison / death camp for those considered sub-human during WW2, the uprising and the stories of 4 women who fought back with all they had. There is a sign at the entrance to the camp that reads WORK WILL SET YOU FREE, as the author said, it should have read " Abandon hope all ye who enter here." Not all did.
I said it was tough to read because J. Michasel Dolan gets into your soul. he takes you by your elbow ,and guides you through the horrors, the truths, without averting your eyes.
But this is a book. And that is the readers blessing. We DIDN'T have to live it daily, you can do what i did......read some and then put the book on
your chest as you absorb the words you just read. Look around at YOUR reality , take a breath and then read some more.
A veritable honor to have read The Trumpets of Jericho. (
