Klappentext

"A literary pearl… Lyrical and dreamy, The Last of the Seven is a deeply felt exploration of love, hope, and forgiveness that begs for a sequel." -Historical Novel Society A lone soldier wearing a German uniform stumbles into a British military camp in the North African desert. He is the only survivor of an undercover operation meant to infiltrate a Nazi base, trading on the soldiers' perfect fluency in German. However, this man is not British-born but instead a German Jew seeking revenge for the deaths of his family in Berlin. While recovering in Sicily, he is recruited by a British major to join the newly formed X Troop, a commando unit composed of German and Austrian Jews training for a top secret mission. Driven not by patriotism but by vengeance, these "lost boys" tell an incredible story. "Steven Hartov's The Last of the Seven ticks like a detonator and explodes like a bomb." -Steven Pressfield, bestselling author of Gates of Fire and A Man at Arms "Another absolute winner from Hartov." -Daniel Kalla, bestselling author of The Far Side of the Sky and The Darkness in the Light
