LUCKY THIRTEEN: D-Days in the Pacific with the U.S. Coast Guard in World War II $32.95 I happened to meet the author who signed my book in North Carolina while on vacation. By chance I had read a synopsis of his book online at one point in time and luckily I was able to meet up with this man. I saw many people walking in and out of the bookstore while I was there not paying him any heed, but the few minutes I was able to spend talking to him was perhaps one of the highlights of my vacation. We had talked about the premise for his book as well as exchanging tales of my grandfather who was in the Army Air Corp. I had lost my grandfather about a decade previously which was a definite blow as I remember listening to all of his stories as well as those of his buddies when we would go to his reunion meetings with his squadron. Reading this book took me back to those times. Its hard to imagine what the author, his friends, my grandfather, and any soldier must endure in order to survive when it seems like the whole world is crashing down around them. This book is a definite read for anyone looking to see into the back story behind any Hollywood movie of the era. The screen cannot due justice as this book has. This gives a 3-D look into the trials and tribulations that the young men faced during the war. The stories seem implausible until you realize that this isn't a work of fiction, but rather non-fiction. The ingenuity of both sides is exemplarily captured. I also recommend it to anyone wishing to have their children learn more about our countries history and the men who fought to keep it free. My thanks go to Ken Wiley for writing his story and allowing me to share in the past. I only apologize for not completing this book sooner and posting the review. |
