Summary

This is the story of a German-Jewish boy who in his teens was rejected and betrayed by the Nazi regime. After fleeing Germany with his family, he escaped to the United States. He then worked as a chicken farmer, joined the army, trained as an interrogator, jumped as a D-Day paratrooper, helped liberate a concentration camp, and fought to rescue the country of his birth.--Publisher's description.
