Could you find the courage to do what's right in a world on fire?
Pulitzer-winning journalist and bestselling novelist (Freeman)
Leonard Pitts, Jr.'s new historical page-turner is a great American
tale of race and war, following three characters from the Jim Crow
South as they face the enormous changes World War II triggers in
the United States. An affluent white marine survives Pearl Harbor
at the cost of a black messman's life only to be sent, wracked with
guilt, to the Pacific and taken prisoner by the Japanese . . . a
young black woman, widowed by the same events at Pearl, finds
unexpected opportunity and a dangerous friendship in a segregated
Alabama shipyard feeding the war . . . a black man, who as a child
saw his parents brutally lynched, is conscripted to fight Nazis for
a country he despises and discovers a new kind of patriotism in the
all-black 761st Tank Battalion. Set against a backdrop of violent
racial conflict on both the front lines and the home front, The
Last Thing You Surrender explores the powerful moral struggles of
individuals from a divided nation. What does it take to change
someone's mind about race? What does it take for a country and a
people to move forward, transformed?
