Description
Deserter: A Hidden History of the Second World War
A deeply personal and thought-provoking study of three men who chose to flee the conflict, Charles Glass sheds light on a previously under-explored aspect of WWII history.
The decision to desert during wartime was a rare and often tragic choice, with only one soldier facing execution for his actions. This book tells the powerful stories of two Americans and one Brit who ran from the war, exploring the pressures that formed their decisions and the lasting impact of their choices.
