Description
A Ritchie Boy A Novel by Linda Kass is an extraordinary narrative about one young immigrant's triumph in America. In 1938, Eli Stoff and his family escape Austria as Germany takes control of their homeland. Over the next five years, Eli enlists in the US Army and joins thousands of other young men known as Ritchie boys, who work undercover in Intelligence on the European front to help the Allies win World War II. This poignant tale is formed by interrelated stories that follow Eli's journey from Vienna to New York, Ohio, Maryland, and war-torn Europe. Set against the backdrop of the dawn of World War II and its disruptive decade, A Ritchie Boy explores one young immigrant's triumph over adversity as he navigates his way from boyhood to manhood. Through different characters' stories, Kass sheds light on the circumstances and people Eli encounters, revealing a compelling narrative that is both poignant and thought-provoking.
