I read this book in about hour. I believe it is about 80 pages in length. It is about an Air Force Lt. shot down over Germany near the end of the war. It details his effort to stay alive and return to U.S. occupied territory. In doing so he encounters the hell of war: bombed towns, deaths to soldiers and civilians, brutality of the powerful,and the indifference to the suffering of the innocent. He has to decide whether to extend mercy to those in need and wrath to those who by the sheer violence of war are doing what they believe to be right. I love WWII stories and this one was interesting.
