As the clouds of war gather over an unpre-
pared Europe, the remarkable and moving
stories of an international cast of characters
unfold in The Twilight of Courage. Follow
diverse and memorable personalities such as
American journalists Josie Marlow and Mac
McGrath as they narrowly escape from the
collapse of Warsaw in the fall of 1939 and
suddenly find themselves caught up in the
events of the so-called Twilight War—when
Hitler was preparing to march and the Allies
did nothing to stop him.

Meet Polish mathematics genius Richard
Lewinski who heads a desperate attempt to
crack the Nazi's secret code; brothers Andre
and Paul Chardon who organize an heroic
defense of the French Cavalry School at Lys;
German Captain Horst von Bockman who is

insanity of war, and David Meyer, an Amer-

and return to the lovely Englishwoman

From Mac's experiences at Dunkirk to Josie's
ordeal in Paris, The Twilight of Courage brings
to life the cataclysm of war as seen through
the eyes of men and women who faced
unbelievable challenges in a time of crisis.

unforgettable package.
