Once again WW2 historical fiction is brought to us, this time, in this riveting account of courageous men and women of Dutch descent who dissented and rebelled against the evil of the Nazi occupation in their country. They were people who desparately wanted to undermine and overthrow the occupiers. Nora, Christiaan, Marcel, Jean Weidner, and Lars were among these book characters representing true-to-life heroes of those times. Dutch traitors also abounded, represented by cruel and evil men such as Floris and Hans.
This book is a sequel to Orphans of War, and is part of a trilogy. Potential readers may wish to read the books in order because although They Bled Orange (the second in the series) can be a stand alone story, I suspect readers may find it helpful to have read the first in the series beforehand as I felt there were some slight 'mis-connections' that would have linked this one more adroitly had I read it.
Generally speaking, this has been a very good read and I'd highly recommend it.
