Abraham escapes his comfortable and luxurious life in Germany and immigrates to Israel prior to the breakout of the Second World War. As a means to support his family amidst financial hardship, Abraham enlists in the Israeli branch of the Royal Pioneer Corps under the British Military.

Through fighting in battles in Tobruk and Greece, he finds a new sense of strength and resilience to survive. His wife, Genia, struggles to raise their son as a single parent in a new country . She faces the temptations of infidelity when a young chivalrous man appears in her household. Their son Aaron, is sent to an orphanage, and like his father , finds the strength to continue living under gruelling conditions. The plot line is based on real-life events, combined with the personal story of an Israeli Royal Pioneer Corps soldier, and provides a hatch to the story of 1500 Israeli Royal Pioneer Corps soldiers, taken and kept captive in Germany until the end of the war.

We all too soon forget the lesson learned as those who sacrificed so much in WW2. This is a good refresher. Since so little taught about WW2 these days everyone, both young and old, should listen to this book.

This is a well written and comprehensive book on WWII. I thought I knew a lot about the war but Mr. Isaac puts things together that I had never thought about. You won't be disappointed.

I find this material very interesting. It is a good reminder that creative people have to be able to brave the disapproval of others, and be content with less than perfect results, due to the sheer volume of output. It's not magic!

loved it!
