Heroism. Three youths who refused to take no for an answer.
Redemption. And one who did.

History does not remember cowards, but history will remember us! - Aleksy Marchankin Intent on being more than a footnote in the annals of history, one brave German and three Russians set out to defy Stalin, Hitler and two armies. In doing so, they created a legacy of bravery and courage that time could not dull, nor history forget. When courage under fire is about choosing who to trust, two young Russians put their faith in a German deserter. Sent to Moscow to turn him in, they instead plot a war-time escape. Joined by a rogue NKVD agent, the foursome's adventures are as intriguing as they are dangerous. Unrivalled in an originality that only a sense of youth and immortality can bring, they stop at nothing to reach freedom, while all of Russia wants to turn them in. A moment in history when ordinary people led extraordinary lives. A novel inspired by the true story of Alfred Liskow; 222nd Infantry Division Regiment of the 74th Infantry Division, Germany.
