Love and War is a gripping story, and a true one. It happened to Nicholas, who tells it with feeling, sensitivity, humor and honesty. He can recall most of it because he wrote it down at the time in small notebooks that he carried in secret. Book Two of this trilogy (1944-1945) begins with a celebration on the eve of the New Year - 1944 - on the Soviet-German front line. Nicholas and his sweetheart Oksana, their friends and comrades-in-arms hope that their Western Allies will finally open the "Second Front" in Europe and they will see the end of the war they have already been fighting for two and a half years. More horrors - and surprising joys - lie ahead, however, as the Soviet Red Army beats the Nazis westward, back into Germany. Nicholas is with them all the way to the fall of Berlin and collapse of the Third Reich on May 2, 1945.

M J Nicholas, born in Bethlehem PA, spent half his childhood as a typical American kid. His father, a Ukrainian immigrant, lost his job and home in the Great Depression. In the 1930s family moved to the USSR where Nicholas came of age. He was 16 when Nazi Germany invaded and 17 when he enlisted in the Soviet Red Army as an American volunteer. Nicholas fought in the huge tank battle of Kursk, among others, and helped liberate two Nazi death camps and a POW camp for American and British pilots. Wounded four times and shell-shocked twice, he returned to the front each time, and entered Berlin with the Soviet Red Army. After Word War II, he completed his higher education in Germany and Ukraine. He became a dramatist and musical director and produced variety show programs, which were staged throughout the USSR and Latin America. Finally Nicholas returned to his American homeland. Here he continues to write and appears publicly performing his non-fiction stories for American audiences.
