About this book
In 1944, hundreds of Allied soldiers were trapped in POW camps in occupied France. Andy Hodges had been excluded from military service due to a lingering shoulder injury, so he joined the Red Cross, volunteering for the toughest assignments. In the fall of 1944, Andy was tapped for what sounded like a suicide mission: a desperate attempt to aid the Allied POWs in occupied France. Andy did far more than deliver supplies. By the end of the year, he had negotiated the release of an unprecedented 149 prisoners, leaving no man behind.
