I've been reading a lot of books about WWII lately, and this one was disappointing. The history about the war in Belgium and the French Resistance Movement was interesting, as is the story about Marshall Stone who was forced into retirement from his airline and didn't know what to do with the rest of his life. He decides to go back to Belgium and France and search for the people who helped him hide during the war after crashing his plane in a field behind enemy lines. An interesting premise, but the story soon fizzled out and left me skimming a lot of the book and I disliked the way it ended.
