description: The autobiography of a World War II vet, from his humble beginnings, his career in journalism and as a college professor, and as a mystery writer. Told with a self deprecating sense of humor and the good charm and self reliance of a man who went beyond being labeled a cripple after the war. True American heartland from the Southwest.
