Contents:

Ghosts and shadows
The lesson of a lifetime
Swimming with snakes
The woods
The renaissance man
This is flying
So far, so fast
The ring
The pond
One for the vultures
A time for faith
A deadly business
A knock in the night
The dancing fleet
The reunion
Only in France
The friendly invasion
At first sight
On waves to war
The longest step
The last night in America
The beast in the gorge
Into the fog
This is it
Trust
He might be a flyer
Home
The first battle of World War III
The sky will be black
A chill in the night
A taste of the dirt
When the deer come running
Backs to the wall
The lost legion
Burning the woods
Into hell together
All the faith in the world
Finality
With deep regret
To the finish
The gift
The call from the Capital
The message
Afterword
