A HIGHER CALL - ADAM MAKOS KARTONIERT (TB)

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.
