As a student at Litchfield College, Dewey Bradley wants nothing more than to graduate, marry his girlfriend Unity, and become pastor of a church. But when war breaks out, Dewey-impassioned by the atrocities of the Nazis-drops out of school to enlist as an infantryman. Meanwhile, Gunter Reinhardt is forced to leave engineering school and join the German army. The two unknowingly cross paths as enemies on several occasions. While Dewey's heart is hardened by the brutality of war, Gunter becomes disillusioned with Hitler and his country, vowing his allegiance only to the men in his company. In a critical moment, Dewey and Gunter come face-to-face. One will choose to spare the life of the other, and in doing so, will ultimately spare his own soul. With painstaking historical accuracy, Robert Vaughan weaves a story of intrigue and passion, offering readers a suspenseful glimpse into WWII-from both a military and human experience.
