By Andreï Makine

Previously published in France, this is the first time it is available in English.

Andrei Makine is a celebrated author, having won international and domestic literary awards, including the Goncourt Prize and the Médicis Prize.

This book will resonate with the 18.8 million veterans living in the U. S. as of 2015, an estimated 1.7 million of whom are WWII vets.

The untold account of a World War II hero and the struggle he faced to tell his story will be well received by avid history readers.

This title will also appeal to any who have dealt with the effects of war only to be forgotten, including the roughly 40,000 homeless veterans.
