Alex Kershaw:
The Liberator

The Liberator is author Alex Kershaw’s epic of close combat and extraordinary heroism, following the fortunes of U.S. Army officer Felix Sparks and his men as they fight from the invasion of Italy to the end of World War II.

Felix Sparks entered the war as a greenhorn second lieutenant of the 157th “Eager for Duty” Infantry Regiment of the 45th “Thunderbird” Division. From the invasion of Italy to the end of the war, Sparks and his men would face some of the most intense fighting of the war, and witness unimaginable scenes upon arrival at Dachau. 

Drawing on extensive interviews with Sparks and dozens of his men, as well as over five years of research in Europe and in archives across the U.S.,  Kershaw recounts one of the most inspiring and heroic journeys in military history. 

Alex Kershaw is the New York Times bestselling author of several books on World War II, including The Bedford Boys and The Longest Winter. He lives in Williamstown, Massachusetts.
