Hitler's Final Solution makes sense to young Klaus Ludwig, and he joins the German Army-not realizing just how much he'll be changed in the process.

Klaus Ludwig, a devoted soldier of the Third Reich, believes Hitler's vision of a pure and unified Aryan empire makes sense. Eager to find his place in creating it, he joins the Wehrmacht in the summer of 1937.

As the horrors of World War II unfold, Klaus sees beyond the Third Reich's facade. Doubt festers, morality claws at him, and every battle chips away at the man he believes himself to be.

Once loss envelopes him, he realizes that he is unexpectedly tethered to life by bonds of friendship. So, in small, quiet ways, Klaus resists the grotesque machine to which he swore allegiance.

But how far can Klaus go before he's discovered in a world where loyalty must be absolute, and betrayal means death? Can a soldier, once devoted to evil, ever be forgiven? Or will Klaus' acts of defiance be lost to history, overshadowed by the war crimes of his "comrades"?

Bitter, haunting, and deeply introspective, Klaus explores the power of redemption against the backdrop of war. One question lingers long after the final page: Is it ever too late to change?
