Acceptance by Tod Benjamin is the third book in a trilogy of historical fiction. This book covers Great Britain's involvement in World War II through the life of the main character, Charlie Stoker. Starting the war as a common soldier, Charlie becomes a commando officer and will participate in the war in various scenarios. Although the other books detail the families and lives of several characters in this work in greater detail, this book can be understood if read on its own.

What I liked most about this book was the author's perfect understanding of the conflict. In high school, I was obsessed with this conflict and have read over 100 books on the subject. I can say without exaggeration that the author, Tod Benjamin, made accurate analyses of the conflict from the Battle of Britain to Rommel's actions in Africa. You can see from the first page that he understands the subject very well. The fact that much of the book describes commandos' actions also helps to make the book fast-paced, dynamic, and exciting.

The book has no defects worth mentioning. I found two grammatical errors: a word not capitalized and General Patton's name misspelled. Other than that, the book's editing is superb.

Overall, Acceptance by Tod Benjamin is action-packed, fast-paced and intriguing. The author has combined his knowledge of conflict with his writing skills and created a work that is both enjoyable and exciting to read. Since there is nothing that I didn't like, I gladly rate it 5 out of 5 stars.

I recommend this book to anyone interested in World War II. It is a delightful way to understand the conflict better. Regarding sexual content, there is nothing very explicit (due to something specific about the main character). Even so, there are many profane words, and the book should only be read by those over 18 years.
