Author Description

Underground fighter, insurgent, operative, partisan, double agent... all words that describe Angelo Flaim as he was torn from his home in Tyrolia (now northern Italy), and thrust into WWII. Eventually working for both the United States and Russia, he and his team become experts in sabotage, espionage, intelligence gathering and living on the run from the German SS units that methodically hunt them. With the war's conclusion, new dangers arise and he quickly escapes to America, meets his future wife on the ship, and ultimately establishes a life as an invisible immigrant. Is this finally freedom? "A deep dive into a side of WWII rarely explored." "Steeped in untold history and meticulously researched." "An amazing story told with the insider knowledge and passion of a grateful son." "I needed a break after each chapter to let its intensity and emotion subside." "Remarkable and surprising... a rigorous, powerful pace." "A marvelous weaving of story and history." Tom Flaim is a best-selling, multi-published author in both print and digital media, noted speaker, business leader and worship minister. In addition to THROUGH SACRIFICE: FREEDOM, he is also author of THIRST FOR CHRIST, the story of Water@Work, a nonprofit ministry he founded to bring clean water to the rural poor of the developing world, and The Adventures of Uno, a six book series for first readers.
