A poet, a gangster and an agent of the Resistance; 'Deserter'
details three astonishing lives shaped by the decision to flee
during WWII. During the Second World War, the British lost 100,000
troops to desertion, and the Americans 50,000. Commonwealth forces
from Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Britain's
colonial empire also left the ranks in their thousands. But,
surprisingly, only one WWII deserter was executed for his crime. In
'Deserter', veteran reporter and historian Charles Glass gives
voice to the powerful stories of three soldiers, two Americans and
one Brit, who all ran from the conflict to meet with distinctly
different fates. He follows each into the heat of battle, exploring
the pressures that formed their decisions and the lasting impact of
their choices. The result is a highly emotional and engaging study
of an under-explored area of World War II history.
