January 1939. Europe is closing its doors.
Josef Eisenberg leaves Munich carrying a suitcase, a handful of papers, and no country willing to claim him. As Nazi rule tightens its grip, every border becomes a test, every official stamp a matter of survival, and every wrong answer a possible sentence.
His flight takes him through railway stations, detention cells, foreign armies, and battlefields stretching from northern Europe to North Africa. He serves under flags that are not his own, survives a war that repeatedly changes direction, and continues searching for a place where he will no longer be treated as a man without a country.
But survival is only part of his struggle. Behind him is a family trapped in Europe. Ahead lies the uncertain promise of a homeland.
Based on Josef Eisenberg's handwritten memoir, A Soldier of No Country is a true story of exile, war, courage, and one man's refusal to disappear between the lines of history.
