This is an extraordinary story that is gripping like a novel as it increases in tempo and danger to the very last days of the war high in the Alps. Feldman's writing is often understated and to the point, certain sentence are devastating in their brevity and honesty. When Feldman's memory is unsure, even on a minor point, he will say so, giving it a great deal of veracity. Ultimately it is a hopeful book and not too dark. One Step Head was published in 2001 by Southern Illinois University Press and seems to be fairly obscure. However the book, and Feldman himself, were used by Mary Doria Russell as a source for her popular novel A Thread of Grace (2005) which was nominated for a Pulitzer - her story is thus much more widely known; but Feldman's book is the original, real - and just a really good book. Recommended highly.
