by Martin King (Author), Michael Collins (With)

From the author of Triage and Searching for Augusta, comes a history of love, hate, jealousy, and revenge between brothers and sisters during times of war through the ages.

Journey back through time to discover remarkable accounts of parents who waved off their sons and daughters, never knowing if they would ever see them again. One mother saw no less than ten of her sons between the ages of eighteen and thirty-seven, dispatched to the frontline in the First World War. The biggest "real" band of brothers that ever served their country, but to discover how many made it back and who this dear lady was, you will have to read the rest. War is completely indiscriminate when it comes to inflicting suffering and heartbreak on families, particularly when one's own blood takes up arms to fight with, and in some cases against their own kin. These stories recount some of the prime examples of families divided and united in some of the direst conflict.

When British police discovered the body of a dead woman, who locals knew as the "Crazy Cat Lady" they found a small bundle of possessions that revealed a truly incredible story of two amazing sisters who served behind enemy lines as elite Special Operations Agents (SOE) during World War II.

He speaks German, Dutch, Italian, Latin, and French.

The local municipality recently made Martin an honorary citizen for his work with war veterans and elected him as a "European Cultural Ambassador."

Michael Collins is a military historian and author who has co-written several books with Martin King, including Voices of the Bulge, The Tigers of Bastogne, The Fighting 30th Division, To War with the 4th, Warriors of the 106th, and Lost Voices: The Untold Stories of America's World War I Veterans and their Families.
