The story begins on May 4, 1945. World War II was almost over when the Koski family received the telegram informing them that one of the six Koski brothers had been killed in action. This is the story of the events, both large and small, that led up to that day. It is the story of a poor immigrant family, struggling to survive the Great Depression; the story of the six Koski brothers, the men they served with, and the millions of Allied soldiers who saved the world during the dark days of World War II. It is the story of the rise of Fascism and the failed politics of appeasement; the story of Hitler and Chamberlain, Churchill and Roosevelt. It is the story of world events, powerful leaders, and the ordinary people who rose to meet the extraordinary challenges of those most tumultuous times.
