<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From the acclaimed author of "The Bedford Boys" and "The Longest Winter" comes the never-before-told story of the American pilots--idealists, adventurers, and romantics--who joined the Royal Air Force before America entered World War II in order to fight Hitler and save Britain.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From the author of national bestsellers <i>The Bedford Boys</i> and <i>The Longest Winter </i>comes a rousing tale of little-known heroes (<i>Booklist</i>).</b><i><br></i><i>The Few</i> tells the dramatic and unforgettable story of eight young Americans who joined Britain's Royal Air Force, defying their country's neutrality laws and risking their U.S. citizenship to fight side-by-side with England's finest pilots in the summer of 1940-over a year before America entered the war. Flying the lethal and elegant Spitfire, they became knights of the air and with minimal training but plenty of guts, they dueled the skilled and fearsome pilots of Germany's Luftwaffe. By October 1940, they had helped England win the greatest air battle in the history of aviation. Winston Churchill once said of all those who fought in the Battle of Britain, Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few. These daring Americans were the few among the few. Now, with the narrative drive and human drama that made <i>The Bedford Boys</i> and <i>The Longest Winter</i> national bestsellers, Alex Kershaw tells their story for the first time.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A heroic, inspiring story that deserves to be told."<br><br>"A moving story of uncommon valor." -- James Bradley<br><br>"A powerful reminder of the human cost of war."<br><br>"Few books describe the costs of war so soberly and so vividly."<br><br>"The poignant story of twenty-one young men... who died in the D-Day invasion."<br><br>"The true story that inspired Saving Private Ryan."<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Alex Kershaw</b> is the author of the widely acclaimed bestsellers <i>The Bedford Boys, The Longest Winter, The Few</i>, and <i>Escape from the Deep</i>, among others.
