The Bastard Brigade

Fascinating bit of historical drama.
There is so much in here regarding national positioning, personal relationships, science, and even baseball.

Be ready to be surprised by the characters... be shocked by the names you recognize for something other than espionage... and be saddened for personal hurts that can never be recovered.

It's a fast-paced and shocking sort of book. And you thought war was just battles. This is on par with Monuments Men for highlighting the efforts taken to address something beyond the battle.
