Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 06 25, 2014
This book examines the lives of ordinary individuals when caught up within momentous events, in this case an American family which experiences its own mixture of joys and tragedies during World War Two. The story starts off with Martin Holt engaged in a bombing raid over Occupied Europe, and then moves back in time to place Martin's parents and siblings within that cataclysmic context, and then follows them in its development and outcome. It's an exploration of that golden generation, the war generation that, as it slowly passes into folk history and memory, still exercises such a hold upon us. Great stuff. Great personal stories, with their fair share of tragedy, and stirring times. Check this book out.
