AUTHOR VISIT: World War II Hero Shares His Story with John Katsaros

Author John Katsaros will discuss his book, "Code Burgundy: The Long Escape." Surviving a B-17 bailout over France during World War II, airman John Katsaros was captured by the Gestapo. He was then rescued by the French underground in what begins a perilous quest for freedom through France and Spain. His detailed account unfolds a true story of grit, grace, and pure luck. Katsaros has resurrected the story after being sworn to secrecy by the US Government for 60 years. Katsaros is an American hero.
