World War II is a story told most often through the eyes of
national leaders, generals and, occasionally, infantrymen. Warrior
Priest underscores why that cauldron continues to stir imaginations
and curiosity by conveying the war's global impact in ways rarely
told. Here are woven together memorably the lives of a young priest
turned airborne chaplain, a Cracow student turned Polish lancer, an
aircraft carrier fireman, two young women partisans in Warsaw and a
French village, and a small town girl who follows a volunteer flyer
to England where she first treats the wounded in a London hospital
and then joins the U.S. Army nurse corps. Meticulously researched,
Warrior Priest's characters interact with real-life people in
historically authentic locales and situations and in an accurate
chronology from 1939 through 1946. From a quiet, small town in
1930s Ohio to a Vatican-run seminary. From a Polish lancer charging
German invaders to a U.S. airborne chaplain jumping into the night.
From a London hospital during the Blitz to a church basement in
battered Warsaw. From the harrowing streets of the ghetto to heroic
river crossings. down a church aisle. From invasion beaches to
evacuation hospital tents. From an occupied French village to the
Nazis' only death camp in France. Warrior Priest pulls the reader
into and through the cauldron of World War II by weaving together
the lives of everyday people in unforgettable ways.
