Reviews
"Snappy and cinematic, Beyond the Call is a gift, an untold story from those last days of WWII in Europe when the unthinkable became real--when our ally had turned against us, when our POWs were left to die, and when a veteran pilot would receive a harrowing final mission--to fly against the might of the Soviet Union." -Adam Makos, New York Times bestselling author of A Higher Call "Vivid and engaging, Beyond the Call is partly a story one officer's guile and bravery in the face of forces much larger and more powerful than himself. But is also a moving and appalling tale of the full horror of World War II's last year on the eastern front."--Randall Hansen, author of Fire and Fury and Disobeying Hitler " Beyond the Call is the brilliantly told, fast-paced true story of a remarkable young man. Deceived by his superior officers he found himself in a place where danger abounded and life was cheap but, drawing on a courage he hadn't known he possessed, he began his assignment. Nerve-wracking, informative, yet profoundly moving, Beyond the Call is a truly inspiring book."--Susan Ottaway, author of Sisters, Secrets, and Sacrifice "Trimble's son has provided a riveting, tense, and ultimately satisfying account of his father's heroic effort." --Booklist "A little-known set of moving adventures, well-researched and presented."-- Kirkus "A remarkable (and virtually unknown) story of courage in the face of incredible danger."-- Library Journal "An inspiring read and well-researched, to boot; Trimble's story shows that even in a great global war, one regular soldier can make a difference."-- Publishers Weekly "A brilliantly told story of a true unsung hero."-- History of War Magazine, "Vivid and engaging, Beyond the Call is partly a story one officer's guile and bravery in the face of forces much larger and more powerful than himself.

Synopsis
This inspiring true story of veteran Air Force bomber pilot Robert Trimble, who laid his life on the line to rescue World War II POWs on the Eastern Front. Near the end of World War II, thousands of Allied ex-prisoners of war were abandoned to wander the war-torn Eastern Front. With no food, shelter, or supplies, the POWs were an army of dying men. As the Red Army advanced across Poland, the Nazi prison camps were liberated. In defiance of humanity, the freed Allied prisoners were discarded without aid. The Soviets viewed POWs as cowards, and regarded all refugees as potential spies or partisans. The United States repeatedly offered to help, but were refused. With relations between the Allies strained, a plan was conceived for an undercover rescue mission. In total secrecy, the OSS chose an obscure American air force detachment stationed at a Ukrainian airfield. The man they picked to undertake it was veteran 8th Air Force bomber pilot Captain Robert Trimble. With little covert training, Trimble took the mission. He would survive by wit, courage, and determination. This is the compelling, true story of an American hero who risked everything to bring his fellow soldiers home to safety and freedom.
