The Tenth Man by Graham Greene

4.0

Chavel and 29 other men are imprisoned during the war and are told by the German's that they must pick three men to be shot the next morning. The first 2 men take there lots rather well, but when Chavel draws the 3rd he panics and offers everything he owns if someone will take his place. One sick young man takes him up on his offer and makes out a will to transfer everything to his sister and mother upon his death. Then the story follows Cheval after the war ends as he tries to redeem himself for that one cowardly act.
This was a compelling little novella, only mildly confusing at times for reasons I can't explain due to spoilers, looking forward to reading more from this author.
