Evil Begets Derek Dellavecchia

"I am a Jew fighting for the glory of Germany," Lieutenant (Oberleutnant) Hugo Guttenberg murmured to himself with a bizarre fascination. Evil Begets is a historical fiction short novel. The setting is 1918 during the waning days of World War I. Evil Begets is composed as an excerpt of the fictional memoirs of German Private First Class (Gefreiter) Franz Grubner. With striking and sobering detail, he paints a sickening picture of what he and the rest of his fellow German army company endured. Evil Begets takes a fascinating revisionist look at a now mostly overlooked time in history. The story of the pitiful lives of these sad men will expose both the immediate and long-term impact of this level of war and devastation. As you read this fictional account, doubtless you will agree as the tag line states--war has consequences.
