Saving Private Weinmann

About the Book

Saving Private Weinmann picks up where the author’s previous book, Reckoning in Normandy ends. It chronicles the relationship between the author and an embittered Normandy veteran, scarred by the brutality of war. The two men develop a symbiotic relationship, in which the author gets a personalized view of the fighting in Europe, and the elderly veteran gains new hope in salvation he never thought possible. The climax comes in an unforgettable description of his liberation of the Dachau concentration camp, how it shattered his faith, and how he was haunted by it for the rest of his life.
