QUIET HERO: SECRETS FROM MY FATHER’S PAST
Book ID/图书代码： 07633010B35051
English Summary/英文概要： Perhaps you’ll find it an exceptional, irresistible memoir, with opportunity in your market. And perhaps the fact that it’s by a bestselling author and Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist makes a big difference.
Here is S&S’s catalog copy: Based on firsthand accounts from her father and official documents from the national archives, Cosby traces her father’s WWII history as a soldier and prisoner of war after, as a teenager, he joined the Polish resistance against the Nazis. She takes readers through the momentous battles in which he lost his girlfriend, many of his friends, and nearly his own life, overcoming unfathomable challenges and nearly starving to death as a prisoner of war, until he eventually helped lead a dramatic escape to freedom. Featuring photos of Cosby’s father as young teen, as well as newly discovered artifacts such as his Polish resistance medals and his POW tags, this is both a remarkably compelling chronicle of individual heroism—and a poignant father-daughter story.
