New York Timesbestseller. The definitive story of the Ritchie Boys, as featured on CBS's60 Minutes. "A spellbinding account of extraordinary men at war." -USA Today
They were young Jewish boys who escaped from Nazi-occupied Europe and resettled in America. After the United States entered the war, they returned to fight for their adopted homeland and for the families they had left behind. Their stories tell the tale of one of the U.S. Army's greatest secret weapons.
These young men-known as the Ritchie Boys, after the Maryland camp where they trained-knew what the Nazis would do to them if they were captured. Yet they leapt at the opportunity to be sent in small, elite teams to join every major combat unit in Europe, where they collected key tactical intelligence on enemy strength, troop and armored movements, and defensive positions that saved American lives and helped win the war. A postwar army report found that nearly 60 percent of the credible intelligence gathered in Europe came from the Ritchie Boys.
Sons and Soldiersdraws on original interviews and extensive archival research to vividly re-create the stories of six of these men, tracing their journeys from childhood through their escapes from Europe, their feats and sacrifices during the war, and finally their desperate attempts to find their missing loved ones.Sons and Soldiersis an epic story of heroism, courage, and patriotism that will not soon be forgotten.
"An irresistible history of the WWII Jewish refugees who returned to Europe to fight the Nazis." -Newsday
