Book Reviews
Blending intrigue, court room drama, and facing the struggles of life that drive us for all those involved—the accused, the accuser, and the lawyers. Once We Were Brothers is riveting and unique reading, highly recommended.

[W]hen the oral retelling really starts it is a book I could not put down and the writing is superb.  Balson has debuted with an outstanding historical piece of fiction and we hope to see more from him in the near future. Readers will not go wrong by picking up this book.  Four stars.

Extraordinary story. I started on Saturday morning and finished Saturday night, ignoring all of my errands. I could not put it down. The legal scenes are authentic and compelling.
Richard Kling, Professor, Chicago-Kent College of Law


A terrific read and an important portrayal of actual legal work performed by real-life lawyers committed to pursuing those who assisted in Nazi atrocities and then lied to gain US citizenship
Steven Biskupic, former federal prosecutor


If you enjoy a good story, if you like novels, if accidentally learning something significant gives you a charge, buy this book and I PROMISE you that you will be glad you did.
