Now McBride turns his extraordinary gift for storytelling to fiction—in a universal tale of courage and redemption inspired by a little-known historic event. In \u003ci\u003eMiracle at St. Anna\u003c\/i\u003e, toward the end of World War II, four Buffalo Soldiers from the Army’s Negro 92nd Division find themselves separated from their unit and behind enemy lines. Risking their lives for a country in which they are treated with less respect than the enemy they are fighting, they discover humanity in the small Tuscan village of St. Anna di Stazzema—in the peasants who shelter them, in the unspoken affection of an orphaned child, in a newfound faith in fellow man. And even in the face of unspeakable tragedy, they—and we—learn to see the small miracles of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This acclaimed novel is now a major motion picture directed by Spike Lee.\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eThe Miracle at St. Anna\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“McBride creates an intricate mosaic of narratives that ultimately becomes about betrayal and the complex moral landscape of war.” —\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Full of miracles of friendship, of salvation and survival.\" —\u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Searingly, soaringly beautiful…The book’s central theme, its essence, is a celebration of the human capacity for love.” —\u003ci\u003eThe Baltimore Sun\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A haunting meditation on faith that is also a crack military thriller.” —\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“An outstanding novel about World War II inspired by the famous Buffalo Soldiers...so descriptive that I feel as though I’m an eyewitness to everything that happens emotionally on the frontline.” —\u003ci\u003eThe Dallas Morning News\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A miracle in its own right…McBride’s prose is stunning.
