"[A]n impressive achievement: a boot-level take on the conflict that is fresh without being cynically revisionist." --The New Republic A groundbreaking history of ordinary soldiers struggling on the front lines, The Deserters offers a completely new perspective on the Second World War. Charles Glass—renowned journalist and author of the critically acclaimed Americans in Paris: Life and Death Under Nazi Occupation—delves deep into army archives, personal diaries, court-martial records, and self-published memoirs to produce this dramatic and heartbreaking portrait of men overlooked by their commanders and ignored by history. Surveying the 150,000 American and British soldiers known to have deserted in the European Theater, The Deserters: A Hidden History of World War II tells the life stories of three soldiers who abandoned their posts in France, Italy, and Africa. Their deeds form the backbone of Glass’s arresting portrait of soldiers pushed to the breaking point, a sweeping reexamination of the conditions for ordinary soldiers. With the grace and pace of a novel, The Deserters moves beyond the false extremes of courage and cowardice to reveal the true experience of the frontline soldier. Glass shares the story of men like Private Alfred Whitehead, a Tennessee farm boy who earned Silver and Bronze Stars for bravery in Normandy—yet became a gangster in liberated Paris, robbing Allied supply depots along with ordinary citizens. Here also is the story of British men like Private John Bain, who deserted three times but never fled from combat—and who endured battles in North Africa and northern France before German machine guns cut his legs from under him. The heart of The Deserters resides with men like Private Steve Weiss, an idealistic teenage volunteer from Brooklyn who forced his father—a disillusioned First World War veteran—to sign his enlistment papers because he was not yet eighteen. On the Anzio beachhead and in the Ardennes forest, as an infantryman with the 36th Division and as an accidental partisan in the French Resistance, Weiss lost his illusions about the nobility of conflict and the infallibility of American commanders. Far from the bright picture found in propaganda and nostalgia, the Second World War was a grim and brutal affair, a long and lonely effort that has never been fully reported—to the detriment of those who served and the danger of those nurtured on false tales today. Revealing the true costs of conflict on those forced to fight, The Deserters is an elegant and unforgettable story of ordinary men desperately struggling in extraordinary times.

Soldados que huyeron, aterrados, ante una contienda que les era ajena; desertores de ambos bandos durante la Guerra Civil, que explican hoy sus razones para hacer lo que hicieron: hermanos que se vieron enfrentados en facciones opuestas, combatientes reclutados a la fuerza por el bando contrario a sus ideas... Todos ellos brindan su turbador testimonio, después de haber sido víctimas de persecución y castigo. Este libro revela al lector una Guerra Civil Española desprovista de épica e idealismo, en la que miles de hombres desafiaron el reclutamiento obligatorio y vieron en la deserción la única vía de escape a los horrores y atrocidades del frente. Pedro Corral ha rastreado las huellas de los españoles llamados a filas que escaparon por centenares a los montes, o que buscaron en la retaguardia recomendación para no ser movilizados; combatientes asesinados en sus propias trincheras al intentar evadirse; soldados que se dispararon a las extremidades para ser evacuados; ancianos y niños encarcelados por la deserción de sus familiares; padres enviados al combate para ocupar los puestos abandonados por sus hijos... Es la Guerra Civil que nadie quiere contar y que pone en tela de juicio muchos de los tópicos que han dominado el recuerdo colectivo del conflicto. «En un tema como la Guerra Civil, Pedro Corral demuestra que no todo está dicho».

The story of First World War deserters who were shot at dawn, then pardoned nearly a century later has often been told, but these 306 soldiers represent a tiny proportion of deserters. More than 80,000 cases of desertion and absence were tried at courts martial on the home front but these soldiers have been ignored. Andrea Hetherington, in this thought-provoking and meticulously researched account, sets the record straight by describing the deserters who disappeared from camps and barracks within Great Britain at an alarming rate. She reveals how they employed a range of survival strategies, some ridding themselves of all connection with the military while others hid in plain sight. Their reasons for desertion varied. Some were already living a life of crime whilst others were conscientious objectors who refused to respond to their call-up papers. Boredom, protest, troubles at home or physical and mental disabilities all played their part in men deciding to go on the run. Andrea Hetherington’s timely book gives us a vivid insight into a hitherto overlooked aspect of the First World War.
