¿En qué terminará su incierto viaje por los laberintos del amor y la guerra? Este libro nos pone en la piel de un soldado al que seguiremos durante sus experiencias en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Junto a él y la mujer que ama, viviremos la incertidumbre, el miedo, la camaradería, el amor, el heroísmo, el horror, la angustia; y todos los sentimientos que afectan al espíritu de las personas expuestas a las condiciones más extremas. Comprenderemos que los soldados de un país enemigo no siempre son enemigos personales nuestros. Comprobaremos que los seres humanos somos todos iguales, más allá de razas, nacionalidades e ideologías. Nos convenceremos de que la única guerra que se gana es la que se evita.
