The dramatic story of the final months of WWII in Europe is told through the eyes of Ernest Hemingway, photographer Robert Capa, Vogue model-turned-photojournalist Lee Miller, and a young American soldier. Their journey and the valor of units like the all-Black, all-female 6888 Battalion come to life through top Broadway vocalists, a 58-piece orchestra, and vivid archival images.

Created, written and narrated by:
John Monsky
