Steve Anderson's new novel, Liberated (Yucca Publishing), asks whether a lone American captain can rescue justice in war-torn Germany. It's May 1945, the war's just over, and Harry Kaspar, an American captain in Germany, is about to take a new posting in the U.S. occupation. When Harry loses the command to Major Membre, he'll do almost anything to win the job back. Harry discovers a horrific scene — three German men tortured and murdered — and he reckons that solving the crime could teach the conquered townspeople about American justice, as well as help him reclaim that better posting. The only problem is that Harry's quest for the real killer will lead him straight back to his commander and eventually to his mentor, a can-do rebel U.S. colonel named Spanner. Recognizing that absolute power corrupted and then destroyed Major Membre and Colonel Spanner, Harry takes it upon himself to overcome any obstacle that gets in his way and set a new American example by which a terrorized town and a mix of battered peoples can rise up from the ashes of a brutal, demoralizing war. In Anderson's other new novel, Under False Flags (Yucca), two soldiers on opposing sides, forced into the brutal Battle of the Bulge, find the courage to desert a war gone sour. This is a gritty war tale that turns conventional notions of valor, heroism, and prestige on their head.
