Former reporter and award-winning author, Charles Kaiser, reads from his book The Cost of Courage.
Charles Kaiser’s The Cost of Courage, published by Other Press, is the tragic and triumphant true story of one family in the French Resistance whom Kaiser has known since he was eleven years old. The book is a nonfiction thriller, a love story, and a mini-history of World War II in Europe.
"At once heroic and heartbreaking, this story leaves an indelible mark.” —Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
“Charles Kaiser’s The Cost of Courage combines a thorough and quite accessible history of Europe’s six-year murderous paroxysm with a deftly told story…But it is also a subtle history of the complexity of the French Resistance and its legacies.”
—The Wall Street Journal
“Moving…Compelling…a story with the detailed intimacy of a journal and the powerful immediacy of a novel.”
—The Christian Science Monitor |
