Publisher's Summary:
Munich, Germany, 1942. Hans Scholl never intended to get his younger sister involved in an underground resistance. When Sophie Scholl finds out, she insists on joining Hans and his close friends in writing and distributing anti-Nazi leaflets entitled The White Rose. The young university students call out to the German people, begging them not to allow their consciences to become dormant but to resist their tyrannical leader and corrupt government.
Hans knows the consequences of their actions - execution for committing high treason - but, firm in his convictions, he's prepared to lose his life for a righteous cause. Based on a true story, Hans, Sophie, and all the members of The White Rose resistance group will forever inspire and challenge us to do what is right in the midst of overwhelming evil.

I would describe this as a wonderful book for young readers
I would describe this as a wonderful book for young readers, especially as it is highly romanticised regarding the relationship between Hans Scholl and Gisela Schertling. The reality of course was rather different as Gisela Schertling claimed in her interrogation, that Hans Scholl was abusive to her. However, the love story element is sweet and it underpins the life sacrifice that was made by these young people. A European reader, like myself, disliked the Americanisms and use of modern-day slang in the story, for instance, universities were never referred to as "schools" and hot beverages (especially coffee and tea ) were never drank out of mugs. On the whole, this young author has done a terrific job of creating a sensitively written novel about The White Rose Group for young readers.
This book tells an amazing true story
This book tells an amazing true story, and not only that but it is written well, too. Captivating, intriguing, and tear jerking.
Thrilling and inspiring!
Such a powerful story of young people taking a stand for what they know is right against overwhelming odds-and sticking with it to the end! This book not only provides a thrilling page turner story, but actually inspires and convicts readers to take courage and work to resist and counter injustice in our world today in whatever form it may take. Highly recommended!
It was very refreshing reading this historical fictional narrative from Hans' perspective. I think Ms. Putzke did a great job in
On aside, I really enjoyed the prose and poetry game played amongst the friends. This reading gets 4 stars from me - all things considered!
Excellent, a must-read
A non-fiction writer can bring you quite close to a historical time period. But a good historical fiction writer can bring you all the way into the room. Emily Ann Putzke has done that with Resist. While reading Putzkeâs vivid , accurate descriptions, I became closer to the Schollâs story than I ever thought possible and found myself rooting all over again for these idealistic young Germans who thought they could topple the Nazi regime with their words.
I donât normally read much historical fiction but because Putzke is an excellent writer and has also done her homework, one never gets the sense that she is trying to draw attention to her own writing, excellent though it is. Instead, she keeps all the attention on the Scholls and their friends.
I definitely recommend this marvelous book!
