Product Description

The war statistics and military strategy of World War II have been well documented. The purpose of these writings is to give the reader a "feel" for what it was like to be a teenager in a very slow moving world; then suddenly be jerked into a life style that you weren't at all prepared for. To see the different ways that people, cut from the same fabric, react in times of stress and change, can be devastating, or heart warming. It is at such times that we realize that we, in a way, are all strangers, and most don't know ourselves very well.

The "little guy" view on WWII in the Pacific
Admittedly I am biased about this book, as my grandfather's obituary is in the back of the book! However, I found it to be an interesting read. I plan on keeping this book forever so that my children can hear stories from my grandfather (not the author) that he told me over and over again! The whole book has the feel of a childhood story from a grandparent. If you love WWII books, you will love this one too!
