About this product
Product Information
In this riveting book, Jack Sacco tells the realistic, harrowing, at times horrifying, and ultimately triumphant tale of an American GI in World War II as seen through the eyes of his father, Joe Sacco -- a farm boy from Alabama who was flung into the chaos of Normandy and survived the terrors of the Bulge. As part of the 92nd Signal Battalion and Patton's famed Third Army, Joe and his buddies found themselves at the forefront of the Allied push through France and Germany. After more than a year of fighting, but still only twenty years old, Joe had become a hardened veteran. Yet nothing could have prepared him and his unit for the horrors behind the walls of Germany's infamous Dachau concentration camp. They were among the first 250 American troops into the camp, and it was there that they finally grasped the significance of the Allied mission. Surrounded by death and destruction, the men not only found the courage and will to fight, but they also discovered the meaning of friendship and came to understand the value and fragility of life.

If You Are Looking for a Great Book about Heroes in a Dark Place, Read Where the Birds Never Sing., "Jack Sacco has paid his father and all those who have ever served this country the ultimate tribute. Where the Birds Never Sing is an honest, moving portrait of his father, an American soldier in World War II, who fought for everything that makes our nation great." -- From the Foreword by Senator Bob Dole "My father, John Bradley, raised the flag on Iwo Jima after facing and overcoming incredible hardship. Jack Sacco's father, Joe, survived the savagery of Normandy and learned the terrible secrets of Dachau. If you are looking for a great book about heroes in a dark place, read Where the Birds Never Sing." -- James Bradley, author of Flags of Our Fathers and Flyboys "Jack Sacco has written a personal story about his father that will find a place wth the world War II remembrances of Tom Brokaw and Stephen Ambrose and the film Saving Private Ryan. Where the Birds Never Sing is not only a compelling biorgraphy, it is a revealing personal story about a group of young men caught up in events for which no one could have prepared them." -- Cal Thomas, syndicated columnist/Fox News contributor "Anyone who reads this skillfully crafted, stirring story can deny neither the greatness and commitment of the American citizen-soldier nor the unspeakable atrocities committed by the Nazis. Every page constitutes a tribute to the role Patton and his Third Army played in freeing Europe." -- Stanley Hirshson, author of General Patton: A Soldier's Life "If you are looking for a great book about heroes in a dark place, read Where the Birds Never Sing." -- James Bradley, author of Flags of Our Fathers and Flyboys "One of the more accurate and compelling recreations of the GI experience in recent years." -- Publishers Weekly "This story will remain with you....[It is] one you should read to understand what the fear, exhilaration, reflective moments, and final victory feelings were really like." -- Decatur Daily
