Once read, never to be forgotten.” —Erik Jendersen, lead writer of Band of Brothers on HBO\n\nSaving My Enemy is a “Band of Brothers” sequel like no other.\n\nDon Malarkey grew up scrappy and happy in Astoria, Oregon—jumping off roofs, playing pranks, a free-range American.\n\nFritz Engelbert’s German boyhood couldn’t have been more different. Regimented and indoctrinated by the Hitler Youth, he was introspective and a loner.\n\nBoth men fought in the Battle of the Bulge, the horrific climax of World War II in Europe. A paratrooper in the U.S. Army, Malarkey served a longer continuous stretch on the bloody front lines than any man in Easy Company. Engelbert, though he never killed an enemy soldier, spent decades wracked by guilt over his participation in the Nazi war effort.\n\nOn the sixtieth anniversary of the start of the Battle of the Bulge, these two survivors met. Malarkey was a celebrity, having been featured in the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers, while Engelbert had passed the years in the obscurity of a remote German village.\n\nBut both men were still scarred— haunted—by nightmares of war. And finally, after they met, they were able to save each other’s lives.\n\nSaving My Enemy is the unforgettable true story of two soldiers on opposing sides who became brothers in arms.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1684510333\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1684510333.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Welch, Bob\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
