Getting Even

About the Book

World War II destroyed countless lives. Getting even recounts the daring exploits of ordinary people who fought to prevail as they were caught in the maelstrom. An innocent young girl scarred by her debasement at a Nazi concentration camp, a green army private who survived a massacre in a Belgian forest, a war-weary captain of the Jewish Brigade determined to exact revenge on the Nazis, a lovestruck young American medic who won his prize through mortal combat, and a captured American flyer imprisoned in Stalag Luft 1 who ultimately uncovered the secrets of the Reich’s most advanced technology. Thrown together by fate, these disparate individuals courageously surmounted the obstacles before them and triumphed. This is their story.
