Truly Outstanding
This is an outstandingly well researched book on the somewhat obscure but very important helicopter developments conducted in Germany prior to and during WW2. The author has painstakingly gathered and assembled information from various and sundry sources, including individuals involved in these developments, to present a thorough exposition of the world's first practical helicopters.

Fifty stars for this book! ... Read more

Well kept secrets?
I vaguely remember THE AMERICAN BUND from my college days in the early seventies, but I had never been aware that this mostly German-American anti-war organization had such an impact on history before, during, and perhaps even after WWII. The Reich Mutiny takes the reader on a trip from innocent war protester to something far beyond, with a fascinating look into the psychological steps on how a small group of highly motivatedSICK, evil people can turn a "dove" into a terrorist. Extremely well researched and filled with information that a lot of politically correct history books don't divulge, The Reich Mutiny keeps the midnight oil burning. WWII history buffs will love this book, and with current events since 9-11-01 and the various "Leagues" and "Societies" in the U.S. and abroad taking their stances...

I Rate Books by whether or not I can put them down.
This was not at all what I expected.I accidentally showed up the day the Author was there signing books.He was a rather plain looking fellow with a somewhat loud and projecting voice.After listening to him talk to people about the book and answer their questions, I understood why it took him 20 years to finish writing "The Reich Mutiny."So I picked one off the table where Steve Reynolds was signing the books and started reading it.I not only couldn't put it down I had to buy the book just to figure out the book, the boat, the characters and much, much more.I must say I am very impressed with the book.It is surprisingly well written which I later discovered the reason is that Mr. Reynolds is an English teacher and took 20 years to research this book and to write it in great detail. I, of course, didn't let that stop me and continued reading.I gave it a 4 overall because I couldn't justify a five right off.It just seemed wordy and I don't like that in a book.However, as I read more and more of the book I discovered it wasn't wordy at all, it was simply using a lot of adjectives to help describe the aharacters and develop the characters.I believe this Author is going places.As ha grows and matures he will develop a style (like Tom Clancey) of his own and each book will get better and better.I look forward to his next book and can't wait to see it in print.

Sincerely,

Ronald P Lafferty

Great Story
Knowing that I love historical fiction, especially about the Second World War, a friend recommended THE REICH MUTINY by William Reynolds.
Not only was this one of the best books I have read on the Second World War--perhaps the best--this was also one of the best novels I have read in my life.
The book fairly crackles with action and captures an event of espionage that I never knew existed.
I had never known about Americans who actually worked for Germany aboard U-boats in the Battle of the Atlantic.
The book also contains nail-biting suspense and a great love story.
Simply put--this might be the best World War 2 book I have ever read. ... Read more
