Reviews
"Filled with secret missions, Nazi villains, and daring escapes that actually happened...Andy Hodges is a real hero whose story must never be forgotten."--Eric Metaxas, New York Times bestselling author of Miracles and Bonhoeffer "One of the most intriguing books I have read on WWII...Captivating and nearly impossible to put down. I recommend it with enthusiasm to professional historians, history buffs, and anyone who wants to be inspired and entertained."--Lyle W. Dorsett, author of Serving God and Country "What a page-turner! It reads like a good novel, but it is all true."--Private First Class Bernard Rader, K Company, 301st Regiment, 94th Division "Fascinating...Andy's story is one of great courage, risks, sacrifice, and commitment to a transcendent cause."--Lt. Gen. William "Jerry" Boykin, former commander U.S. Army's Delta Force

Synopsis
"Riveting and action-packed... Behind Nazi Lines ] shows how one brave American Red Cross volunteer negotiated the release of 149 Allied POWs. A great read."--Marcus Brotherton, author of Shifty's War In 1944, hundreds of Allied soldiers were trapped in the prisoner-of-war camps off the Atlantic coast of occupied France. Miraculously, local villagers smuggled a message from the camp to the Allied forces--sparking a remarkable quest by an unlikely hero. Excluded from military service due to a football injury, Andy Hodges joined the Red Cross and, in the fall of 1944, was tapped for what sounded like a suicide mission: a desperate attempt to aid the Allied POWs in Nazi-occupied France. But Andy did far more than deliver much-needed supplies. By the end of the year, he had negotiated the release of an unprecedented 149 prisoners--leaving no one behind. This is the true story of one man's selflessness, ingenuity, and victory in the face of impossible adversity.
