Love and War

About the Book

This is a love story, but it is also a story of World War II. It is the story of a young man who had just turned 20 years of age, and felt it his duty to answer the call of his country and volunteer for the army of the United States. It is the story of his emotions and frustrations, his love for the young woman who loved and waited for him to come home; and his experiences as he grew into a mature soldier who witnessed the horrors and devastation of war, and saw the results of the Holocaust atrocities.
