Sinopse

In "In the Foreign Legion," Erwin Rosen intricately weaves a narrative that delves into the multifaceted experiences of soldiers serving in one of the most storied military units in modern history. The book employs a vivid literary style that combines immersive storytelling with reflective prose, capturing the raw emotions and psychological complexities faced by legionnaires. Set against the backdrop of the tumultuous events of the 20th century, Rosen's exploration contextualizes the Legion both as a formidable fighting force and as a haven for societal outcasts, illustrating the dichotomy of honor and despair that permeates military life. Erwin Rosen, a former soldier himself, draws on both personal experiences and extensive research to create a compelling and authentic portrayal of life in the Foreign Legion. His deep-seated empathy for the men he writes about is evident in his nuanced character development and intricate plot lines. Rosen's background informs his writing, as he seeks to shed light on the often-overlooked sacrifices and stories of those who join the Legion, compelled by various motivations ranging from adventure to escape. Readers who seek a profound understanding of camaraderie, resilience, and the human condition will find "In the Foreign Legion" an indispensable addition to their literary collection. Rosen's expert storytelling not only offers a gripping narrative but also prompts vital discussions about identity and belonging in the face of adversity, making this book a must-read for both military history buffs and general audiences alike.

    Berlin, 1938 
    It’s no longer safe here. 
    When the Jewish families of Berlin start disappearing in nightly raids, 21-year-old Jacob Kagan knows it’s only a matter of time before the trucks come for him. Along with his family and best friend, he flees the country he’s always called home to find shelter in a Dutch refugee camp. Before long, the Netherlands falls to the Nazi war machine — Jacob’s new home is transformed into a transit camp with weekly trains bound for the horrors of the Eastern concentration camps. 
    Handpicked by the cruel new SS regime to police the camp’s Jewish population, Jacob has the opportunity to save his parents and best friend from the dreaded transport lists — but at what cost? 
    Based on true events, Beyond the Tracks is a redemptive story of unconditional loyalty and a will to survive at impossible odds.

    Anything But Yes is the true story of a young woman's struggle to defend her identity in the face of relentless attempts to destroy it. In 1749, eighteen-year-old Anna del Monte was seized at gunpoint from her home in the Jewish ghetto of Rome and thrown into a convent cell at the Casa dei Catecumeni, the house of converts. With no access to the outside world, she withstood endless lectures, threats, promises, isolation and sleep deprivation. If she were she to utter the simple word "yes," she risked forced baptism, which would mean never returning to her home, and total loss of contact with any Jew—mother, father, brother, sister—for the rest of her life. 
     
      
     
    Even in Rome, very few people know the story of the Ghetto or the abduction of Jews, the story of popes ever more intent on converting every non-Catholic living in the long shadow of the Vatican. Young girls and small children were the primary targets. They were vulnerable, easily confused, gullible. Anna del Monte was different. She was strong, brilliant, educated, and wrote a diary of her experiences. The document was lost for more than 200 hundred years, then rediscovered in 1989. Anything But Yes is also based on Davidow's extensive research on life in the eighteenth-century Roman ghetto, its traditions, food, personalities, and dialect.
