Unto All Men

This novella recently came to light as a bequest to her grandchildren by Taylor Caldwell. Set during the impending German invasion of Czechoslovakia, it explores the thoughts of eight men who decide to take a stand against the Germans, knowing that it would be a futile military effort but a self redeeming symbolic one. Caldwell tells the story of each, the twists and turns of their thoughts. It's quite a call to the futility of war, and yet the necessity of not accepting tyranny.
