Book Description
Richard Barker spent five years researching the war-time story of his father's life in occupied Belgium resulting in his novel - Harry's Boys. At the outset of WW2, Harry, an Englishman, and his two young Belgian born sons are forced to flee Brussels in the face of the advancing German Blitzkrieg. They head north hoping to escape back to England but, unable to cross the channel, they end up in a small remote fishing village in southern Brittany. As the German machine closes in on the remote village they witness a refugee ship steam by. Harry knows that going after this ship by sea is his last chance to get away and agrees an escape with a local fisherman. As they wait on the quay, Harry is told that things have changed and now there is no room in the little fishing boat for the children. Does he leave his boys behind and take this last chance to escape alone or stay with his sons and face the Nazis? A true tale of a father's heartache and his sons' strength in adversity. True stories are always more moving.

Two Americans
Author: William Lee Miller
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307742644
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
From William Lee Miller, the highly regarded biographer of Abraham Lincoln, a riveting dual examination of Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower that explores the similarities and equally striking differences of two remarkable men in the context of mid-twentieth-century American culture and politics. Two Americans weaves together the life stories of Truman and Eisenhower, showing how these future presidents, born six years apart from each other in small farming towns, were emblematic of their Midwestern upbringings and their generation. Miller also shows how their markedly different life experiences during World War I and between the world wars would shape their choices and the roles they played in the politics of the time, as Truman became the quintessential politician, and Eisenhower, the thoroughgoing anti-politician. Their personalities come alive in vividly described scenes of their collaboration during the war-torn 1940s; their dual, but different, roles in bringing the war to an end and shaping the postwar world; their growing disapproval of each other; and, finally, in 1952, the hostile bickering and maneuvering that characterized the passing of presidential power from one to the other.
