Richard McMaster, author of Aaron's War, has announced the ebook version will be available at no charge at Amazon June 24 through June 26, 2024.
Aaron's War is at once gut-wrenching in its realism and elegant in its simplicity. It is a masterful piece of writing that will likely take its place as one of the best WWII historical fiction novels ever written.
This coming-of-age, historical fiction story is set against the backdrop of World War II. Aaron Vanko, an innocent Iowa farm boy, must wrestle with the ultimate test of humanity that so many veterans have faced: the willingness to kill in the name of duty. Aaron finds himself torn between his allegiance to his country and his personal belief system. Remarkably, just hours before deployment, a shocking revelation rocks his world: he discovers his Jewish heritage, shattering his sense of identity to its core.
Despite his sense of dread, Aaron forges ahead, driven by a profound sense of duty and patriotism. But now he finds he must battle on two fronts - the enemy forces without, sworn to wipe the Jewish race from the face of the earth, and the ethical dilemma within himself.
