I picked up this book and finished it in 24 hours! Who needs sleep when you have a story that pulls you in and makes you a part of the characters. The descriptives and the plot, kept the pages turning with ease! I learned about WWII while I was craftily reminded about love and family commitment.

FANTASTIC BOOK!!

While surfing online, I saw a brief write up in a Santa Barbara paper about this book and ordered. I am dumfounded as to why people aren't screaming raves for this book; it really is exceptional. A great yarn of WWII and beyond, with some very cleverly crafted plot twists. Jack Nadel ... you've done very very well!
