For More Information On Condition. Please See All Photos. ~ Eddie Slovik Was The Most Famous American Soldier To Come Out Of World War Two. Or Was Infamous A Better Description? For 24 Year Old Slovik, Polish-American, Petty Thief And Ex-Con, Was The Only Allied Soldier To Be Shot For Desertion In The Course Of That Long Conflict. For Nearly Ten Years The Us Dept. Of Defence Tried To Keep The Slovik Case Secret And Even When It Was Revealed The American Military Hid The Place Of The Condemned Man's Burial For A Further Thirty Years. Thus When The Details Of The Slovik Case Were Finally Brought Out Into The Open, There Was Much Talk Of An Official Cover-Up. Now Veteran Military Historian, Charles Whiting Has Attempted To Dig Up The Final Truth. He Reveals In This Fast Paced Intriguing Book That Slovik Was Not The Innocent Victim That His Advocate Had Maintained He Was. In That Year In Which He Was Sentenced To Death For Desertion In The 'Face Of The Enemy', He Played A Calculating Game With The Us Army -And Lost. Whiting Also Reveals Another The Man Who Would Approve Slovik's Death Sentence And Have Him Shot In A Remote French Mountain Village, General (And Future President) Dwight D. Eisenhower Was Also Under A Sentence Of Death That Winter Himself.
