“The Accidental Hero” is a jaw-dropping true story about Czech freedom at the end of World War II. U.S. Army Colonel Matt Konop, as a unit commander, liberated the remote border villages his grandparents had left for America decades earlier. When he was able to use the Czech he grew up speaking on a Wisconsin farm, the Czech townspeople hailed him as a hero. “We are liberated by one of our own!” The experience altered Konop’s sense of identity, freeing him from an ignorance of his Czech heritage.
