Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“In a highly readable, often thrilling narrative, prolific nonfiction author Henderson focuses on the members of an elite, 2000-man unit who escaped from Europe and by one means or another made it to the United States…A gripping addition to the literature of the period and an overdue tribue to these unique Americans.”
