My friend Rose's husband, Arthur Pranger, wrote the book
Traveling Through W.W. II. It is a don't want to put it down
until you finished reading it type of book. I know, I have an
autographed copy and have read the entire book and I'm a female!
When my brother received his copy, he started reading it right
away and sent me an email stating I was right about not wanting
to put the book down till you finish reading AND his youngest
grown son will be wanting a copy for his own library.
Art does a fantastic job of taking you from being drafted into
the Army of the United States, to boot camp, to being shipped
overseas and the actual war and then processing out of the Army
and going back home. There is humor in spite of the seriousness
of the topic. It is a MUST READ. Like my doctor said, "There are
too few W.W. II veterans left to tell their stories that have
not been told in the movies."
You may purchase his book directly from the publisher by clicking
on the book title or by doing a search on amazon.com via the
amazon logo below which will give me credit. Thanks bunches!

Excerpt from a review on amazon.
"The story told in this book attaches historical facts
(dates, battles, etc) to a very descriptive personal experience
reminding my (younger generation) that those involved in this
great war experienced a very real & life changing adventure.
The amazing story, numerous pictures, and slightly larger print
make this book a page turner that you won't be able to put down.
This book tells a story as graphic and exciting as the very
popular HBO TV show "Band of Brothers". I highly recommend to
all interested in a historically accurate account told through
one man's personal journey."
