Meeting the Enemy
Arthur Rathburn
Thursday, November 13 - 6:30 pm

Much has been written about the lives of American POWs held by the Germans during World War II. Less well known are the stories of the many Germans imprisoned in the United States.

Arthur Rathburn will speak at The Community Library about his novel, Meeting the Enemy, which is based on the true story of an elite German paratrooper whom the author met while stationed in Germany in 1965.
