Plot Summary of Shadows of Eagles
"This story is about the little known German POW Camps established by the United States during World War II. The dangerous breakout by a group of Nazi prisoners activates a perilous pursuit by a posse of Texas Rangers, drawing together a prisoner, and three brave Americans – two veteran flying aces, a determined lawman, and a desperate woman. Bi-planes, horses, machine-guns, and Winchester rifles culminate in edge-of-the-seat air-combat."
Stephen Lodge, Resident Scholar
