David’s most recent book differs from his usual academic publications as it is a novel, ‘We Were No Heroes’.

The novel, ‘We Were No Heroes’ is about Martin Thomas, a young English boy from the Channel Islands who entered adulthood fighting for the Waffen SS on the Eastern Front, survived a Soviet concentration camp, before becoming a Stasi agent during the Cold War and later witnessed the Fall of the Berlin Wall. David Childs based the semi-fictional account on a man he met in Leipzig in 1989.
