description: The Final Exam is an undocumented chronicle of American Medical students studying in Vienna from 1932-38, as Hitler was building his Trojan government and taking over Austria.Because of a quota system in America, which accepted limited numbers of Jews in medical schools, those who wanted to study medicine, had to seek other avenues, some in notoriously anti-semitic countries, where for the price of a steamship ticket and a college diploma, acceptance was assured. Despite shocking terrorist activities by the Nazis, students learned to fight back or else their hopes for a medical career would end.In a life of rich contrasts, students grasped at impassioned love affairs to ameliorate the impending doom.Our hero, Fred Reiner, is young, handsome, with a strong earthy nature, whose sexual magnetism attracts desirable women from all levels of society. This does not detract from his sense of justice which makes him a true hero in his attempt to save lives and sabotage the Nazis. This book is based on events that really happened."Riveting reading. Story never told before. Plenty sex, romance, drama. Nazi terrorist activities keen psychological insights. Wynne's portrait completely winning."- By Fredrick Winship of United Press International, 2005
