Rachel Cox. A multifaceted, moving story of five American Ivy League students who
committed themselves to fight alongside the British in the spring of
1941. Journalist Cox, the relative of one of the recruits, pieces
together this extraordinary story of five patriotic young students at
Dartmouth and Harvard who bucked the official U.S. decision to remain
out of the war while the Nazis were conquering Europe and offered
themselves as volunteers for the King's Royal Rifle Corps. A unique take on the war, from the
point of view of the young, idealistic and foolhardy. --KirkusFriday, June 8, 2012
