Don McKale, esteemed author, lecturer, and expert on Adolf Hitler had this to say about THE DIARIES: "The Diaries is a riveting, superbly written debut novel by a promising young author. Having spent much of my professional career studying and writing about Adolf Hitler, I found myself absorbed by Driskell's creepy portrayal of the evil dictator. The author keeps the novel moving at breakneck speed by weaving the Hitler-involved diary entries into the present-day fabric of Gage Hartline's fast-paced escapade. The Diaries kept me reading until the wee hours of the morning."
