Now it is up to Bill and Benny to find and rescue him. But this protection plan backfires when Barton is sent to the Philippines and listed as missing-in-action after a Japanese attack. Barton, the youngest and least distinguished of the three, is shuffled off to the Navy Supply Corps because his mother wants him out of harm's way.
Benny is the gunnery and anti-aircraft officer on the USS Enterprise, one of the only carriers to escape Pearl Harbor and by the end of 1942 the last one left in the Pacific to defend against the Japanese. Bill is picked by Roosevelt to run his first Map Room in Washington. They are three brothers, all Navy men, who end up coincidentally and extraordinarily at the epicenter of three of the war's most crucial moments.
The extraordinary, real-life adventure of three brothers at the center of the most dramatic turning points of World War II and their mad race to change history-and save one of their own.

The young lieutenant is recruited by a British major to join the X Troop, a commando unit composed of German and Austrian Jews training for a top-secret mission.
He is the only survivor of an undercover operation meant to infiltrate a Nazi base, and he is not British but instead a German Jew, seeking revenge for the deaths of his family in Berlin. A lone soldier wearing a German uniform stumbles into a British military camp in the North African desert with an incredible story to tell.
