Sinopse

'A fast moving account of the final days of a world changing war.' -Kirkus ReviewsOn April 6, 1945, author Larry LindseyâÇÖs father, a tank commander with PattonâÇÖs 3rd, crossed the battle lines at Rinteln, Germany, in an unarmed jeep and single-handedly convinced over two thousand Nazis to surrender without firing a single shot. On that same day, during the most intense kamikaze attack of the war, the authorâÇÖs father-in-law, a Navy pilot in a Grumman Hellcat, shot down a Japanese Zero over Okinawa to become a fighter-pilot ace.Two fathers, two different war fronts on opposite sides of the world:áTanker Turk and Hellcat Danárelates the harrowing paths that brought these two heroes to that fateful day in April. Written like a novel and revolving around the hopes, hardships, and fears involved in long separations from home, this story highlights the serendipitous twists of fate that often occur in times of war.
