This bold novel follows the courageous struggle of five WWII soldiers trapped behind enemy lines after a massacre of Allied prisoners. Inspired by the major motion picture "Saints and Soldiers." This description may be from another edition of this product.
I read the book and saw the movie at a film festival. The book is a real page turner historical fiction but was actually based on true events. Without ruining the plot, it is about a few soldiers who survivied a slaughter of POW's by the German's and their journey through enemy lines to get back to the American side. This takes place during the Battle of the Bulge and the men have a mission not only to survive but to relay very important intelligence that could have a significant impact on the battle. I enjoyed this book so much that I purchased a copies for my father, brothers and co-worker who is a WWII buff. I promise you won't be disappointed.
