Decades later, our society has still not fully recovered from Vietnam. The author takes us back to the time as seen through his eyes. The ambivalence is palpable as he weighs his sense of civic responsibility and belief in America against the personal sacrifice and evolving realization that this was the wrong place, wrong time, and wrong war. The book is an amalgamation of his experience as a physician in the war zone, his observations of the impact the war was having on the soldiers, the local population, and himself. Interspersed are personal opinions about the behavior of the general public and politicians safely ensconced in the U.S. As one who was actually there, his views have more gravitas than those who stayed behind. These are true stories gleaned from the author's experience as a physician in Vietnam. It is a mixture of humor and pathos.

As a young adult in wartime Vienna, Georg Rauch helped his mother hide dozens of Jews from the Gestapo behind false walls in their top-floor apartment and arrange for their safe transport out of the country. His family was among the few who worked underground to resist Nazi rule. Then came the day he was drafted into Hitler's army and shipped out to fight on the Eastern front as part of the German infantry—in spite of his having confessed his own Jewish ancestry. Thus begins the incredible journey of a nineteen year old thrust unwillingly into an unjust war, who must use his smarts, skills, and bare-knuckled determination to stay alive in the trenches, avoid starvation and exposure during the brutal Russian winter, survive more than one Soviet labor camp, and somehow find his way back home. Unlikely Warrior is Rauch's true account of this extraordinary adventure.

The Year of Magical Thinking meets Fifteen Days in this literary exploration of one Canadian's decision to enlist and go to war. What compels a young, affluent Canadian to put on a uniform and risk his life for the controversial mission in Afghanistan? And how does his family cope with his loss when he is killed there? Jeff Francis was a thirty-year-old doctoral candidate and student of Buddhism when he decided that joining the armed forces was the best way to make a difference in the world. In elegant, spare prose that captures both the hardness of war and the nuances of a grieving family, Melanie Murray - Captain Francis's aunt - uses the lens of his life and death to give Canada's war in Afghanistan the perceptive, literary treatment its soldiers, families and citizens deserve.

Published to rave reviews, this is the never-before-told story of two brilliant young Canadians who became unlikely soldiers. Ken Macalister was a Rhodes scholar at Oxford. Frank Pickersgill was a doctoral student in classics at l’Université de Paris. Together, they volunteered for the British SOE and soon found themselves being trained to kill. On June 15, 1943, with false identities, they parachuted into the Rhone Valley, but there were double agents within the Resistance; too soon Macalister and Pickersgill were captured, tortured and put on a train for Germany. Vance has written a brilliant, heartbreaking book about heroism, betrayal and sacrifice, capturing the promise of a generation of young men who went to their deaths for a greater cause.

A Tale of Two Soldiers is a memoir about the unlikely friendship an American Jewish G.I. and trained sniper for the US Army, formed with a German Luftwaffe pilot during WWII. On Dec. 18, 1944, twenty-one-year-old Max Gendelman was captured in the Battle of the Bulge, one of only a handful in his company to survive. Starving and dazed, his dog tags blown off, he was marched through German villages and eventually arrived at a farm the Reich had commandeered from a German family. The family's grandson, Karl Kirschner, a lieutenant in the Luftwaffe conscripted against his will, was hiding out in one of the barns. To Max's astonishment one day Karl spoke to him through the fence; they discovered a shared passion for chess, and began to secretly meet to play the game. As they got to know each other, they recognized what they needed to do; they formed a pact, a plan to escape together. This was the start of a friendship that would endure for more than six decades.

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.
