內容簡介：
On June 6, 1944, Frederick Giesbert, assigned to the American
army’s 29th division, landed on bloody Omaha Beach, Normandy, an
experience from which he never recovered. Three years later,
Frederick had returned to his hometown of Chicago, married to a
French girl. But when the seemingly happy couple moved to Normandy
to make a home with their baby, something in Frederick snapped, and
he turned cruel and violent. His son, Franz-Oliver, spent his
childhood doing everything he could to defy his father. The
American is a son’s fiercely honest and emotionally gripping
story of a search for paternal understanding and forgiveness.
