Other points of historical interest is the story of the attempt by Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, R-Wis., to get all of the killers reponsible for the Malmédy Massacre off the hook. McCarthy claimed the U.S.  Army obtained confessions by torturing the SS men by attacking their genitals. That charge turns out to be a lie.Bowles an all-American from Ohio and Macnaughton who becomes the last Canadian to be knighted organize a team to capture the perpetrators in a story of revenge in the page-turner thriller "Comrades, Avenge us."
