Stan Paregien tells about life as it really was for people in the United States and for our military men and women who served not only in the U.S. but on war fronts around the globe. And it includes 87 photos and 58 graphics. It is all about real life, the tide that sends waves rushing high on the shore only to retreat, regenerate, and rush headlong, again. Get ready for a unique journey through time with a veteran storyteller.

The contents of this book have, well, an “unusual” organization. Stan explains it this way: “It doesn’t sound radical to say the events described here are mostly in chronological order. But what that really means is this: I told the story as real life actually happens – in bits and pieces, ebbs and flows, ups and downs, good things and not-so-good, satisfying resolutions, negative resolutions, and no resolution, mountain top thrills followed by a walk through the valley of heartache and despair.
“People who survived World War 2 each experienced periods of tremendous optimism and traumatic confusion. I have mixed those ingredients into a loose chronological framework to more truthfully tell the intriguing stories of the lives of those strong people who lived through 1940-1945.”

This book shows those balmy days of peace, broken by death and destruction on a scale never seen before. The author shares stories you may not know about Presidents, Generals, infantry grunts, politicians, musicians, scientific discoveries, authors, battles won and lost, and the latest inventions of that period.
