LEAH GARRETT
X Troop: The Secret Jewish Commandos of World War Two
X Troop: The Secret Jewish Commandos of World War Two was released in the USA on May 25 with Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (Harper Collins) and May 27th in the UK and in Australia with Chatto & Windus, Penguin. There will be a number of public events that will be added to this website over the coming months. For those events that have taken place, most of the organizations have posted recordings of them. UPCOMING EVENTS are mostly by ZOOM but some will be IN PERSON. I will add the registration links as I receive them.
