To be completely honest, I picked this book off the library shelf not truly knowing what it would be about. I understood the premise and was like ooh a great B-17 book, but did not realize it would almost entirely follow Franz’s journey through the war. And I’m so glad I didn’t realize this before I grabbed the book, because there may have been a small chance that I wouldn’t have read it, and I’m so thrilled that I did.
Wow. This book was such a riveting, informative, emotional story of two men who faced impossible odds & honor and faith guided them through it. I learned things I would’ve never know, and had viewpoints that I previously held challenged in a way I never would’ve considered.
What may be one of the craziest, most incredible war stories I’ve ever read or heard, I was riveted from the first page to the final page. Franz & Charlie’s story, but even more so their reconnection after dozens of years, is a testament to humanity & goodness & empathy.
Cannot recommend enough.
