Shadows of War tells the story of World War II as few Americans
know it. In the mid-1930s a high school history teacher inspires a
student to look beyond his small hometown. He becomes a Foreign
Service officer, and they then anchor a World War II story that
provides perspectives little known to Americans. A Romanian
princess cares for more than 3,000 orphans and rescues more than
1,000 downed American flyers - and tussles with the SS to keep the
POWs from their control at considerable risk to herself. On air
raids over Romania, American crews must fly 1,200 miles - on
creatively named planes such as Wingo-Wango and Jersey Bounce - at
just 50 feet off the "deck" to launch attacks on the stoutly
defended oil refineries at Ploesti. In Singapore and Malaysia a
mild-mannered father of seven becomes a resistance leader after the
Japanese invasion, and four gutsy nuns who serve as nurses try to
stay a step ahead of the brutal conquerors.
