A US soldier confronts the horrors of the Holocaust in this New York Times-bestselling novel from acclaimed WWII correspondent Martha Gellhorn.
Growing up in St. Louis, Missouri, Jacob Levy is a typical American boy. He never gives much thought to world affairs-or to his Jewish heritage. But when the United States joins the Allied effort to stop Hitler, Jacob's life and sense of identity are on course to change forever. As a soldier in the last months of World War II, Jacob lives through the Battle of the Bulge and the discovery of Nazi concentration camps. Witnessing the liberation of Dachau, he confronts a level of cruelty beyond his own imaginings, and the shock transforms him in ways he never thought possible.
One of the first female war correspondents of the twentieth century, Martha Gellhorn visited Dachau a week after its discovery by American soldiers. A New York Times bestseller when it was first published, this powerful novel grapples with the horrors of war and dilemmas of moral responsibility that are just as relevant today.
This ebook features an afterword by the author.
