"A devoted and brilliant achievement." The New York Review of BooksIn
1948, as civil war ravaged Greece, children were abducted and sent to
communist "camps" behind the Iron Curtain. Eleni Gatzoyiannis, 41,
defied the traditions of her small village and the terror of the
communist insurgents to arrange for the escape of her three daughters
and her son, Nicola. For that act, she was imprisoned, tortured, and
executed in cold blood. Nicholas Gage joined his father in
Massachusetts at the age of nine and grew up to be a top
investigative reporter for the New York Times. And finally he
returned to Greece to uncover the story he cared about most -- the
story of his mother's heroic life and tragic death.
