Peter Harmsen’s Darkest Christmas is out soon from Casemate Publishers….

“One single, crucial 24 hours—Christmas Day 1942. A world hanging in the balance. Peter Harmsen masterfully reveals the raging war across the globe through the hopes and fears of its inhabitants whether soldier, civilian or prisoner. A broad canvas, yet one that repeatedly becomes incredibly personal and often heart-wrenching. Among the vast library of books on World War II Darkest Christmas stands out as uniquely poignant and original.”

Paul French, New York Times best-selling author of “Midnight in Peking” and “Bloody Saturday: Shanghai’s Darkest Day
