In the book, The Liberator : One World War II Soldier's 500-Day Odyssey from the Beaches of Sicily to the Gates of Dachau, New York Times best-selling author of many popular World War II titles, Alex Kershaw, shares the story of Army Officer Felix Sparks’ experiences on the battlefields in Germany. Through narrative form, Kershaw uses interviews with Sparks, as well letters from Sparks and his regiment, to depict the horrific yet inspiring story of perseverance, as these soldiers moved from battlefield to battlefield, and ultimately to the liberation of the concentration camp at Dachau in Bavaria.
