Jeremy Dronfield’s non-fiction focuses on World War II history and the people caught up in it. His best-known non-fiction work, The Boy Who Followed His Father into Auschwitz (2018, also published as The Stone Crusher), tells the story of Gustav and Fritz Kleinmann, a Viennese Jewish father and son who managed to stay together through multiple concentration camps.
His other non-fiction works cover related territory. Beyond the Call (2015) and A Very Dangerous Woman (2015) deal with espionage and resistance during the war. Dr James Barry (2016) tells the story of a pioneering military surgeon. Queer Saint (2015) and Hitler’s Last Plot (2019) round out his non-fiction catalog.
All seven non-fiction books were published in a concentrated four-year period from 2015 to 2019. Dronfield’s approach focuses on individual stories within larger historical events, finding the personal narratives that make the history feel immediate.
