Description

They were young Jewish boys who escaped from Nazi-occupied Europe and resettled in America.

After the U. S. entered the war, they returned to fight for their adopted homeland and for the families they had left behind.Sons and Soldiers begins during the menacing rise of Hitler's Nazi party, as Jewish families tried desperately to get out of Europe.

Bestselling author Bruce Henderson captures the heart-breaking stories of parents saving their young sons by sending them to America, perhaps never to see them again.

As these boys became young men, they were determined to join the fight in Europe, where their mastery of the enemy's language and psychology made them ideally suited to be special interrogators of German POWs.

Known as the Ritchie Boys, they knew what might happen to them if they were captured, yet they went anyway.

A postwar Army report credited them with collecting nearly sixty percent of the credible intelligence gathered in Europe.Sons and Soldiers is an epic story of heroism, courage, and patriotism that will not soon be forgotten.
