Humanity in the Inhumanity of War

Occasionally I recommend a book and I would like to do so now for one recommended to me by my grandson, Joey. It's a well-told tale about how even in the inhuman hell of war, an act of humanity can restore hope. 

A Higher Call by Adam Makos tells the story of A Luftwaffe Me109 fighter pilot who had a turkey shoot in front of his guns with a badly shot-up American B-!7 that was passively awaiting its final fate at his hands. Instead of dispatching it with his cannon and machine guns, however, he guided it back to England and spared the crew. The story is about the German pilot and the American crew and their backgrounds and puts a very human face on what happens when a moment of grace enters the hell of combat. 

A big tip o' the hat to Joey for his recommendation and a big thumbs up to any readers for a great read that shows us that good is possible even in the worst of circumstances.
