Desperate times call for desperate measures.
But, morally questionable acts committed by soldiers and spies for God and country often come at a grave personal cost to body and soul. In first-hand accounts, seven soldiers and spies tell of their loss of self.
Confederate colonel Caleb Craig returns to his ruined plantation a different man with a dark secret.
Union soldier Andrew Bradbury kills for God and country, not to free human beings from slavery, but to free himself from service.
American bombardier Marty Klein denies his faith when he parachutes from his fiery bomber and lands behind the German line.
British soldier and war hero William Stowe struggles to find his way back to sanity after the madness of a journey across no man’s land in France.
British colonel Simon Barrett confronts a conflict between a duty to his king and a debt to his Iroquois blood brother.
American soldier Patrick Garrahan walks a fine line between acts of war and acts of murder to win an unwinnable war.
And, Patriot spy Charles Townsend spins a web of lies around General Washington in an attempt to forestall a Patriot victory.
Among other questions, these men ask: What would you be willing to do for God and country? And, how would you live with yourself if you survived your fall from grace?
