Alex Kershaw

The Liberator: a story for the ages, an intensely human and dramatic account of one of history’s greatest warriors and his unheralded role in America’s finest achievement – the defeat of Nazi Germany.

Publisher's Weekly gives The Liberator a starred review: “Kershaw is a captivating narrator, hammering home the chaos and carnage of war, sparing no sensory detail to paint a cohesive picture. His portrayal of his subject (based on interviews with Sparks, who died in 2007, and other survivors) makes for a riveting, almost epic tale of a larger-than-life, underappreciated figure.”

Join us as Alex Kershaw, the New York Times bestselling author of several books on World War II, including The Bedford boys and The Longest Winter, presents the true story of the bloodiest and most dramatic march to victory of the Second World War: the battlefield odyssey of a maverick U.S. Army officer and his infantry unit as they fought for over five hundred days to liberate Europe - from the invasion of Italy to the gates of Dachau.
