As a Nazi invasion looms, eight men in Czechoslovakia prepare to resist, in this powerful novella by the New York Times–bestselling author. Hitler’s forces are about to close in, but a small group of men is determined to take a stand against the German aggressors.

Scott Berg, National Book Award–winning author of Maxwell Perkins: Editor of GeniusShow book
