On December 18, 1944, a twenty-one-year-old American soldier named Max Gendelman was captured by the Germans during one of the greatest battles ever fought in any American war-the Battle of the Bulge. He was one of only a handful of men in his company to survive, witnessing unimaginable horrors at the hands of the Germans. Taken prisoner, he and a small group of other soldiers were marched through German villages and taken to the location where he would spend the next several months of his life, each day wondering if it would be his last. Max Gendelman perhaps had more reason than most to worry. Although born and raised in Milwaukee, Gendelman was a Jew. A Tale of Two Soldiers is not simply a tale of surviving the atrocities of war. While imprisoned in the POW camp, a chance meeting with a lieutenant in the German Luftwaffe changed the course of Max's life. Karl Kirschner, conscripted against his will, spoke to Max one day through the prison camp fence, and the two young men discovered a shared passion for chess. During clandestine chess games, they also shared conversation, learning about each other and their families, and they ultimately came to a decision: they would help each other escape. Max Gendelman's poignant memoir, which he completed just one month before Ins death in June 2012, is a striking depiction of the worst of man's inhumanity to man, but even more, it is an inspiring, heartwarming, and uplifting tribute to an unlikely friendship that endured for more than six decades. Max Gendelman was an extraordinary man, and A Tale of Two Soldiers is an extraordinary book. Gendelman's words will stay with you long after you have turned the last page. Book jacket.

Jean and Luc are two best friends serving in the army. Life as a soldier is unforgiving, but every Sunday provides a ray of hope for the two soldiers as they walk down the Seine river and lunch in a forest that reminds them of home. The idyllic countryside of Champioux is, to them, a little heaven. Yet when a milkmaid catches one of the soldier’s eyes, the two friends’ ordered world begins to unravel. A simple tale of friendship, love, and loss, "Two Little Soldiers" is a masterful portrayal of Maupassant’s knowledge of the human soul and condition. Perfect for readers of Hemingway, this short story is tinged with the tragedy of war seen through the lives of everyday soldiers. Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) was a famous French writer, often referred to as the father of the short story. A prolific writer, his best known works include "Bel-Ami", "Une Vie" and "The Necklace", alongside some 300 short stories, travel books, and poetry. A master of style and dramatic narrative, Maupassant’s stories are drawn to themes of war, the working class, and the human condition. One of his greatest influences was Gustave Flaubert, who introduced him to some of the central names of the time such as Emile Zola, Ivan Turgenev, and Henry James.

“A quintessential tale. Once read, never to be forgotten.” —Erik Jendersen, lead writer of Band of Brothers on HBO Saving My Enemy is a “Band of Brothers” sequel like no other. Don Malarkey grew up scrappy and happy in Astoria, Oregon—jumping off roofs, playing pranks, a free-range American. Fritz Engelbert’s German boyhood couldn’t have been more different. Regimented and indoctrinated by the Hitler Youth, he was introspective and a loner. Both men fought in the Battle of the Bulge, the horrific climax of World War II in Europe. A paratrooper in the U.S. Army, Malarkey served a longer continuous stretch on the bloody front lines than any man in Easy Company. Engelbert, though he never killed an enemy soldier, spent decades wracked by guilt over his participation in the Nazi war effort. On the sixtieth anniversary of the start of the Battle of the Bulge, these two survivors met. Malarkey was a celebrity, having been featured in the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers, while Engelbert had passed the years in the obscurity of a remote German village. But both men were still scarred— haunted—by nightmares of war. And finally, after they met, they were able to save each other’s lives. Saving My Enemy is the unforgettable true story of two soldiers on opposing sides who became brothers in arms.

The title of the book is taken from the last two campaigns that the 41st Infantry Division fought in. This Division was one of the first Army combat units to be sent to the South Pacific at the outset of World War II. The beginning of the story takes place during the landings and battle operations that were directed by General Douglas MacArthur. All the American victories in the war were not without terrible bloodshed and loss of life as some recent films have so graphically displayed. This story details some of the horrors and heartbreaks that men experience in wartime. These are the conditions that exist in a rifle company during combat and the story attempts to describe how the men cope with it. The over riding theme of the book is the bond that is created when men are faced with deadly danger for long periods of time. That bond is strong enough to last a lifetime. This can be attested to by the fact that the men that had served in these units during the War still meet on a regular basis to provide support and assistance to one another just as they did over half a century ago. This is an extraordinary account of two men that were total strangers, who came together and formed a partnership that sustained them throughout the warand afterwards. These men had successfully fought the Imperial Japanese Army and survived, only to come home to fight the Imperial United States Legal System. In the latter chapters the story deals with the transition from military to civilian life and the problems that confront men who went to war as star struck youths, and came out as hardened and disillusioned men. All the battles and Island backgrounds described are, for the most part, true historical facts but it is nevertheless, a work of fiction. This is not an autobiography but many of the battle scenes I write about were actually experienced by me. I was a rifleman in the third platoon of L Co. 162nd Regiment of the 41st Infantry Division during World War 11. Lincoln Peters
