Summary: A poignant, must read
Comment: This well written and moving account of a son's efforts to know his long deceased father connects on two levels: first through the emotional story of the discovery of his father's lion-sized deeds during wartime as relayed by the men he commanded and served; the second, a very interesting account of the land war in the Pacific campaign. The author captures perfectly the conflicting feelings of pride and fear when he realizes the magnitude of his father's accomplisments and then compares those with his own, less-than-legendary life. This excellent book will appeal to both men and women. In a day when our leaders, at the highest levels, seem constantly to choose expediency over principle, this great story of character, in contrast, lifts the spirit. One wonders if that generation, and its values and grit, are lost forever
