The book "His Forefathers and Mick" has been a chain-breaker for me. I have been engaged in sci-fi and thrillers for a very long time. But this book brought me back to reality. This book engages the readers in the story of three turbulent generations in the Kramer family. Laying the groundwork for global espionage and warfare, Friedrich Kramer, a German engineer, led a courageous revolution in railway and communication technology in China and Namibia during the early 1990s. Feeling the aftereffects of World War Two, his son, Michael, travels to Australia in search of solace in the form of forgiveness and a new start. But he finds himself engaged on the Vietnam battlefield. While establishing their own paths in a world that never forgets, each generation struggles with the remnants of the past. This is an engaging story about identity, ambition, and the impact of history and actions.

The author has successfully created a "close to reality" world with relatable events and impacts to create a stronger connection with the readers.

I just finished reading "His Forefathers and Mick", a mesmerizing novel that spans three generations of the Kramer family. This book is a masterclass in storytelling, weaving a complex tapestry of ambition, identity, and the unyielding power of heritage.

The story begins with Friedrich Kramer, a brilliant German engineer who leaves an indelible mark on early 20th century China and Namibia through his innovative work in railway and communication technologies. Unbeknownst to him, his achievements set the stage for international espionage and warfare, casting a long shadow over his family's future.

Throughout the book, the author skillfully explores the intricate relationships between the Kramer men, each struggling to forge their own path in a world that refuses to forget. The writing is evocative, the characters are richly drawn, and the historical context is meticulously researched.

His Forefathers and Mick by Michael G. Kramer is another incredible book centered around war. The best authors are those take write about what they know and have a passion for. Michael didn’t enjoy the Vietnam War, but living it and being a historical fanatic serves to his advantage.

Michael delicately opens his life and the lives of his ancestors up to his readers. He keeps it real and fascinating at the same time. His detail of facts and events paints a vivid picture of what it was like during the wars. Michael reveals the good, bad, and ugly of people, keeping this authentic.

I love reading about history. This book is classified as fiction since the conversations can’t all be verified, but the facts remain the same. It is always interesting to read about wars from someone who served in a different country. The author's view of the Vietnam War is slightly different than what I was taught about my country's involvement. Overall, I always enjoy reading books from Michael Kramer.

"His Forefathers And Mick" by Michael G. Kramer explores the interconnecting stories of the Kramer family across generations, from Africa to Vietnam. Kramer's detailed portrayal of wartime politics and touching familial bonds created a very rounded and interesting plot. Some of the battle scenes were quite brutal and heart-wrenching, but I loved Kramer’s ability to make me experience all the emotions whilst reading this book. His simple prose kept me hooked and effectively conveyed the challenges his ancestors faced. This book is a testament to the Kramer family’s courage and will-power. Highly recommend for anyone seeking an exploration of war and humanity.… (plus d'informations)
