The Wooden Bazooka

This autobiography, The Wooden Bazooka, is a story of manifold drama too vivid, improbable, and intensely personal to have been conjured up by a novelist.

From orphanage to battlefront to prison camp to board room and beyond, Karl Heinz Johannsmeier spins a fast-paced narrative of incredible span and trajectory, a testimony to the power of optimism and tenacity to outwit death, overcome defeat, and engineer triumph. Few individuals have proven so dramatically that the American Dream of success is indeed alive and well.
