"A literary pearl… Lyrical and dreamy, The Last of the Seven is a deeply felt exploration of love, hope, and forgiveness that begs for a sequel." -Historical Novel Society
A lone soldier wearing a German uniform stumbles into a British military camp in the North African desert. He is the only survivor of an undercover operation meant to infiltrate a Nazi base, trading on the soldiers' perfect fluency in German. However, this man is not British-born but instead a German Jew seeking revenge for the deaths of his family in Berlin. While recovering in Sicily, he is recruited by a British major to join the newly formed X Troop, a commando unit composed of German and Austrian Jews training for a top secret mission. Driven not by patriotism but by vengeance, these "lost boys" tell an incredible story.
