                       Praise for A Tale of Two Soldiers


"The American soldier Max Gendelman's story of his six-decades long 
friendly relationship with the German pilot Karl Kirschner gives a rare 
glimpse of not only of the personal toll of WWII but also of the triumph of 
personal friendship against all odds."
          Klaus Scharioth, former German Ambassador to the U.S., 2006-2011




"A fascinating and inexplicable story about an American POW and 
a German officer that will move readers even as they learn about the 
hardships that American soldiers endured.."
          Deborah E. Lipstadt, author of The Eichmann Trial




"This World War II memoir is a remarkable history of survival and
 friendship.  If an American military sniper--a young Jewish man from
 Milwaukee--can befriend a German Luftwaffe pilot and become lifelong 
friends, then we can all certainly hope for a better world."
          Wolf Blitzer, CNN


"This is truly a love story, and a grand tale of courage, faith, honor and
most importantly, friendship.  It is also the story of bigotry, and the
injustices of anti-Semitism.  May their memories be for a blessing."
          Hannah Rosenthal, Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat
     Anti-Semitism under the Obama Administration, 2009-2012
