The incredible account recounted by the protagonists son of a secret POW rescue mission at the end of WW2
'The inspiring tale of a hitherto unknown true hero - a story worthy of a Hollywood movie' * Military History Monthly *
'Captivating stuff, detailing one man's courage in a seemingly impossible situation - a brilliantly told story of a true unsung hero.' -- History of War Magazine
'Vivid and engaging, Beyond the Call is partly a story of one officer's guile and bravery in the face of forces much larger and more powerful than himself. But is also a moving and appalling tale of the full horror of World War II's last year on the eastern front.' * Randall Hansen, author of Fire and Fury and Disobeying Hitler *
'Beyond the Call is the brilliantly told, fast-paced true story of a remarkable young man. Deceived by his superior officers he found himself in a place where danger abounded and life was cheap but, drawing on a courage he hadn’t known he possessed, he began his assignment. Nerve-wracking, informative, yet profoundly moving, Beyond the Call is a truly inspiring book.' * Susan Ottaway, author of Sisters, Secrets, and Sacrifice *
'Dramatic and well-researched, it is certainly worth reading.' * The Good Book Guide *
