Me, not being a "history" fanatic, was throughly suprised by this book. It kept me turning the pages even from the very beginning. It isn't written as most other books, but more as a very well written account of what someone serving in the Army Air Corps most turbulent time, in the face of the holocoust with a family waiting for him had gone through. He writes the story to make you feel as though you are there with him facing each obstacle as if it were your own. The stories he gives growing up in poverty with accounts of racism and cotton farms are so vivid that before this book, I could only imagine what it must have been like. I will read this book again and again and share with family and friends. Without books like this, these times will be lost forever.

Wonderfully written controversial story of one man's experiences during his 30 year career beginning in 1917 during ww1 and continuing through ww2. The untold stories and ones you'd never expect to hear told as the writer saw it.
