This gripping autobiography is at once a heart-pounding
adventure story, a moving recollection of a larger-than-life
father, and an important account of the Czech resistance. Radomir
Luza's father was a revered army general when the Nazis stormed
into Czechoslovakia. After his father went underground to avoid
arrest and torture, the nineteen-year-old Radomir spent weeks in a
Gestapo prison. Upon his release, he joined his father in hiding.
General Luza became the military commander of the Czech resistance,
while Radomir secretly helped organize the country's largest
resistance network. Luza's narrative makes palpable the terror of
being constantly hunted and nearly snared by betrayals and Gestapo
raids. The Hitler Kiss is a portrait of courage, tenderness,
optimism, and sheer survival.
