World War II is in full swing. The author and his family are confronted with survival in a dictatorship and in a major war involving the entire civilian population. His country is invaded and bombed daily and he and his mother make a gripping escape through upper Silesia barely missing the brutality of the Soviet Army. The author then details his first encounters with the American Army who bring a new freedom to his country. A post-war recuperative period for a nation which has lost the war, through hard work and adaptation of democratic principles is then described. Conquered Germany makes a transition into a new durable and healthy economic and political society, supported by the United States, ensuring a rapid recovery from war to peace.
