In My Grandfather's Shadow is an unflinching  thought-provoking fusion of memoir and history 
and an exploration of the hidden scars left across generations by the conflict and horrors of
the Second World War.  In a quest to discover the truth about her German grandfather  first a
proud Wehrmacht General serving on the Eastern front  then a broken POW on trial for Nazi war
crimes  Angela Findlay travels across Europe and Russia to uncover the untold story of millions
of Germans long buried not only in guilt and shame but also trauma.  Carefully breaking the
silence surrounding so many of World War Two's perpetrators  she challenges widespread binary
narratives and offers a way forward that allows the intergenerational wounds to heal and us all
to grasp the urgent lessons of the darkest episode in modern history.  Brave  profoundly
insightful and moving  In My Grandfather's Shadow is a courageous look at a taboo subject and
raises important questions about how and why we should remember the past.
