Andrew Rosenheim

Andrew Rosenheim (born 1955, Chicago) - an American-born author and former publishing executive who has lived in England for over four decades. While the 3-volume series explores themes related to the Jewish experience during WWII, protagonist Jimmy Nessheim himself is not Jewish. He is characterized as a German-American FBI agent. The novels feature significant Jewish content primarily through their historical focus on the rise of Nazism and the Holocaust. In Fear Itself, Nessheim infiltrates the German-American Bund, an ardently pro-Nazi and antisemitic organization in the U.S. that conspired against American efforts to oppose Hitler.

• Key Jewish Characters: The series includes prominent Jewish figures, most notably Harry Guttman, an FBI Assistant Director who serves as Nessheim’s superior and mentor.
• Refugees and the Holocaust: The books frequently deal with the plight of Jewish refugees 

fleeing Europe.

• Atomic Research: In The Accidental Agent, the narrative involves the race for the atom bomb, highlighting the contributions of scientists such as Enrico Fermi (who had a Jewish wife and fled Fascist Italy) and others involved in the Manhattan Project. [Google/AI]
