Hardcover
(Longmans, Green and Co, Aug. 16, 1943)
British airman Dym Ingle-ford is convinced that the young German prisoner, Max Eckermann, is his brother Anthony who was kidnapped years before. Raised in the Nazi ideology, Tony has by chance stumbled into British hands. Dym has brought him back, at least temporarily, to the family he neither remembers nor will acknowledge as his own. As Tony keeps attempting to escape, his stubborn anger is whittled away by the patient kindness he finds at the White Priory. Then, just as he is resigning himself to stay with this English family, a new chance suddenly opens for him to return home; to Germany! Enemy Brothers, written in the early years of World War II, gives an inside view of the confusion war brings and of the triumph of the human spirit in the midst of it.
