This is a novella. Pre-launch review: Tim’s – the author’s – journey through the Falklands war is very well drawn and I felt it offered me a strong taste of the experiences he had - experiences which were arduous to say the least, yet littered with army humour. The love story with Elly is mainly centred on letters they shared and I will admit to reaching for the tissues at the end. Two people separated by war and united through love.

According to Doss's account in a documentary film titled The Contentious Objector, as he rescued soldiers one-by-one, he breathed into the air with each go-around, "Lord, please help me get one more". The modest man of faith claims to have saved 50 wounded soldiers from certain death. His comrades claim that he saved 100. President Harry S. Truman presented him with the Congressional Medal of Honor upon his return to the United States, for his heroics on Okinawa, and the citation credits him with saving 75 lives, splitting the difference.

When the 50-year old Gustav was transferred to Auschwitz - a certain death sentence - Fritz was determined to go with him.
