This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways.
I won this book through Member Giveaways on LibraryThing. An American intelligence officer who happens to speak flawless German is parachuted behind German lines in 1945 as a courier on a secret mission. He is in fact expendable yet he needs to live long enough to tell his story. While I wasn't really able to relate to the story it was a good read. Perhaps much of it was beyond mysterious for my taste buds.
