The Forgotten 500 by A. Myrick Freeman III
A gripping narrative that recounts the World War II mission to rescue more than 500 Allied airmen shot down over Nazi-occupied Yugoslavia in 1944. Drawing on interviews and archival research, it details how local villagers and resistance fighters sheltered the airmen for months under brutal conditions while American operatives organized a daring air evacuation, highlighting acts of courage, sacrifice and moral complexity and examining how Cold War politics later obscured the story.
