A HIGHER CALL - ADAM MAKOS LARRY ALEXANDER GEBU...

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER: Beautifully told.-CNN • A remarkable story...worth retelling and
celebrating.-USA Today • Oh  it's a good one!-Fox News A beautiful story of a brotherhood
between enemies emerges from the horrors of World War II in this New York Times bestseller by
the author of Spearhead. December  1943: A badly damaged American bomber struggles to fly over
wartime Germany. At the controls is twenty-one-year-old Second Lieutenant Charlie Brown. Half
his crew lay wounded or dead on this  their first mission. Suddenly  a Messerschmitt fighter
pulls up on the bomber's tail. The pilot is German ace Franz Stigler-and he can destroy the
young American crew with the squeeze of a trigger... What happened next would defy imagination
and later be called the most incredible encounter between enemies in World War II. The U.S. 8th
Air Force would later classify what happened between them as top secret. It was an act that
Franz could never mention for fear of facing a firing squad. It was the encounter that would
haunt both Charlie and Franz for forty years until  as old men  they would search the world for
each other  a last mission that could change their lives forever.
