'The Silent Angel', which was the first novel Boll ever wrote, tells the heartbreaking story of a German soldier at the end of the war, struggling to survive after returning to the ruins of his home town. 'A Soldier's Legacy' is the story of a friendship between two soldiers, shattered by the murder of one of them by his own commanding officer. Together they make a dazzling study of both the horrors of war, and the despair and new-found hope which follows defeat.
