60 Years of Personal WWII Stories brought to Life by the Author with Maps, Photos, and Postal Artwork of the Times.The book, Heroes, Horror, and Humor in WWII is the author’s compilation of war stories from and about a broad spectrum of everyday participants in WWII, including Allied and enemy soldiers/sailors/flyers, adult and children civilians, POWs, Internees, and even some Medal of Honor recipients. Their experiences range from an early 1930s motorcade of Hitler’s to the 1945 end-of-war days in Germany and Japan. They chronicle such events as the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor and events in Hawaii, the vicious island and sea battles of the Pacific, Japanese attacks on the US West Coast, D-Day in France, the Internment of Japanese Americans, and the Allied occupation of Germany. The book relates the memories of the profoundly sad, inspiring, strangely ironic, sometimes humorous, and a few happy adventures of real people, American and foreign, caught up in the tumult of the 20th century’s most defining event. It will give the reader a unique appreciation of humanity’s wide reactions to the conflagration of WWII. Sit back and enjoy the author’s accounts of many fascinating personal stories.
