In Outrage: Hitler Didn’t Die, Joel M. Reed poses the bone-chilling question: Is it possible Hitler is still alive, living in the United States, 50 years after the end of World War II? This spy story excavates secrets that were never meant to see the light of day. From war heroes to ex-Nazis, no one is who you think they are.
Reed was certainly very ambitious when setting out to write this novel. He presents the reader with a large cast of characters and multiple plot elements that he must juggle all at once. The success of this novel comes in Reed’s ability to weave all these characters together in interesting ways, creating situations for them to cross paths and double-cross each other. It’s not easy to deal with a large cast of characters, especially when they are very similar on the surface. In this case, most of the cast of Outrage is comprised of men who were involved in World War II. Reed certainly makes a strong effort to distinguish his characters and give them unique characteristics so the reader doesn’t feel lost while reading.
One thing I would have liked to see in this novel is more of a focus on the mystery of Hitler. The plot of the novel diverges in many different directions, giving Reed a lot to juggle. Sometimes, the central thread of Hitler’s death (or camouflage), was lost as the plot spread out.
The concept behind Outrage: Hitler Didn’t Die is intriguing, to say the least. It speaks to themes of political corruption and the revealing of secrets often found in contemporary art and literature, making it the kind of book you continue to think about after you put it down.
