Nazi atrocities receive plenty of attention, but one murderous Reich institution has slipped under the wire…An impressively researched indictment of Hitler's monumentally cruel construction organization.

Kirkus (Starred Review)

Previous studies haven't provided a full accounting of the atrocities committed by its personnel, or under its oversight, because the OT has only been dealt with piecemeal . . . In the OT, competent professionals working independently of direct Nazi control were willing and active participants in the worst crimes of the regime. The implications are sobering, and this compelling telling offers new insight into the operations of a fascist state.

Booklist, starred review

Riveting, timely and truly revelatory. The Organisation Todt is the Nazi-era secret that still needs to emerge from the shadows. Charles Dick's book does that and so much more.

Damien Lewis, author of AGENT JOSEPHINE and MINISTRY OF UNGENTLEMANLY WARFARE

Deeply researched, thorough and well argued – an excellent study of an often forgotten part of the Nazi past

Jan Rüger, author of HELIGOLAND

Engagingly written and impressively well-researched, Unknown Enemy will be indispensable reading for anyone interested in Nazi Germany, the Holocaust and the Second World War

Christian Goeschel, author of MUSSOLINI AND HITLER
