Résumé
Doug Tillman boards a troopship, the S.S. Leopoldville, in the early morning hours of Christmas Eve 1944, headed for the Battle of the Bulge. Dan Gibbons, a college football star selected for a now-cancelled officers program, preps for another day… with an ambulance squad near Ste. Mere Eglise. Churning in the depths of the north Atlantic, sixteen-year old Willy Hillenbrand is an unlikely U-boat sailor. Hours later near the mouth of Cherbourg Harbor, a torpedo from Willy's submarine pierces the hull of Tillman's troopship, setting into motion a sequence of events that inexorably brings this trio together.
