About the event

Join us for an evening with Linda Ciampoli, co-author with late husband Max Ciampoli - A Novel Based on a True Story.

“In war, ordinary men become soldiers. One extraordinary man became a hero.”

After France’s surrender to Germany in 1940, Max Ciampoli—only seventeen and already a lieutenant in the French army’s elite Alpine infantry on skis—refuses to be personally defeated. He feels betrayed by his commander and his government because they surrendered before his shock-troopers, who had trained so hard, fired a single shot.

Max wants revenge and makes a decision not to give up until France is free from the Nazi invaders.

Max’s never-before-told story provides a unique perspective on World War II’s European theater as seen through the eyes of a bold warrior who enjoys privileged relationships with not only Winston Churchill and General George Patton but also with celebrated entertainers such as Josephine Baker and Maurice Chevalier. The impact of his actions on the outcome of the war is even more thought-provoking.

Though Max’s story highlights acts of bravery by many individuals and pays heartfelt respect to the enduring heroism of the French Resistance, the German Resistance, the Gypsies and the British and American military, it also introduces to the world a very human and fiercely determined young patriot whose own contributions during World War II forever changed the course of history.

Some books will be available at the event for purchase ($10 cash or check) and autograph if desired. If you have your copy already, please come with your questions for the author.
