He came from Ohio. Young, unsure of himself, innocent. He came to Europe as an infantryman battling his way into the heart of Germany.
There he stopped being unsure of himself. He stopped when he first went into battle and heard the singing of bullets close overhead, heard the crump of the four-inch mortars and saw the Tiger tanks rumbling towards him.
He grew to maturity when he killed his first German and he stopped being innocent when he bought his first woman...for a bar of chocolate.
When the war ended and the fighting died away, how was he to regain his lost innocence? How was he to lose the habits of a killer?
There was no one to help him except Chrystel, the refugee with the body of a girl and the heart of a woman. No one but Chrystel...and himself.
