As the Red Army advanced across Poland in 1945, thousands of freed Allied POWs - viewed by the Soviets as cowards or potential spies - were abandoned to wander the war-torn Eastern Front. In total secrecy, the OSS - wartime forerunner to the CIA - conceived an undercover mission to rescue them. The man they picked to undertake it was veteran Eighth Air Force bomber pilot Captain Robert Trimble. With little covert training, Trimble survived by wit, courage, and a determination to do some good in a terrible war. Alone, he faced up to the terrifying Soviet secret police and saved hundreds of lives, fighting his own battle against the trauma of war while finding his way home to his wife and child. Based on hours of testimony from his father, Beyond the Call is written by Trimble's son and by British historian Jeremy Dronfield. It is a filmic, inspiring story of a hitherto unknown true hero.

BEYOND THE CALL is another WWII story that has finally emerged and been told in a captivating manner. World War II was large and complex and a number of classified and clandestine operations were undertaken and then kept secret for decades. This true story of an American Army Air Force pilot and his long undercover mission to rescue POWs on the Eastern Front, enhanced with photographs, reads like a novel. If you like stories about aviation, WWII, mystery or spying you will enjoy BEYOND THE CALL. This and another astounding true WWII aviation story, A HIGHER CALL by Adam Makos, are two of the most fascinating tales to emerge from the largest conflict in human history. Both are highly recommended.
