Friendly Enemies

By Bruce Cooke

As enemies, Peter Stevens and Hans Schneider meet on the battlefield. Each left a loving family to follow his conscience to the crucible of North Africa, but Peter finds love on the way. He doesn't know the pretty Pilot Officer. Jennifer Stewart is the daughter of his family's biggest business rival. When Peter is captured by the Germans, Hans saves him from execution, but he is recaptured by the Italians and spends three months as a prisoner. In a cruel twist, Jennifer and Peter each believe the other is dead until an unlikely event provides a chance at happiness. Hans is captured and finishes the war in Victoria. After returning to Germany, he finds his parents have died and he is alone. He gains employment in a new hotel in Berlin. He meets Peter again, who is there on business. Peter arranges his emigration to Australia where opportunities for a new future and even love await. Once again, Bruce Cooke captures the spirit of Australia's grandeur and proud people in an action-packed story of war, love, and remembrance of a time that shaped today's world.
