In Where the Birds Never Sing, Jack Sacco tells the harrowing and ultimately triumphant tale of his father, an American G.I. in World War II. Joe Sacco was a farm boy from Alabama who survived both Normandy and the Battle of the Bulge; at the age of twenty he was already a seasoned veteran. But it was at Dachau that he finally grasped the significance of the Allied mission; Sacco was among the first 250 American troops who entered the infamous concentration camp, where he witnessed unimaginable death and destruction. Told from the perspective of an ordinary soldier, Where the Birds Never Sing contains firsthand accounts and never-before-published photographs that document one man's transformation from farm boy to soldier to liberator. Jack Sacco is a director, writer, and composer living in Marina Del Rey, California. His writing and directing credits include the documentaries 'Beyond the Fields' and 'The Shroud,' and he has composed the soundtracks for such works as TR: The Heroic Life of Theodore Roosevelt and Once Upon a Starlit Night. 'One of the more accurate and compelling re-creations of the GI experience in recent years.' - Publishers Weekly
