Against the Odds: Survival on the Russian Front 1944-1945

Начало книги

Against the Odds was first published in 1995 by my grandfather, John Stieber. His book was read and his story shared by many. He passed away peacefully in the arms of his family on July 11, 2010. This reprinting finally happened in 2016 after many requests from friends and family members to make the book available again. It is our family’s wish to share his story so that this piece of history is not forgotten.

Proceeds from this book will go to non-profit organizations near his home in Booterstown, Co. Dublin, Ireland.

This 2nd edition matches the text of the first with some changes from my grandfather. The original cover art was reused. Some minor corrections and edits were also made.

I want to thank my late wife, Hertha, for proof-reading all drafts and offering many constructive comments. My daughter, Christine Cann has given me much help in dealing with the typical quirks of modern word-processors and printing the first sets of the completed manuscript.
