On April 29, 1945, U.S. Army troops captured the Dachau concentration camp, freeing 30,000 prisoners. From interviews with former inmates and American soldiers who were there, Selzer recreated the hour-by-hour drama of the liberation. Telling what happened from the predawn military orders to take Dachau, to the execution of over 120 SS guards by a few enraged GIs and the rescue of the prisoners.
